Fife memories
Thornton Junction
Is Thornton Junction still working? I lived in Methil in the 1940s and Methil had a busy station and I remember when we got to Thornton Junction we heard "All change Thornton Junction". I forget where we were going as I am in my 70's, it wasn't Edinburgh, I think that was change at Kirkcaldy.
The Monday Club
The same company from the eighties are still sitting together in the noughties (2009) !! Catherine, Kirsty and Jacqui Sala, Greig and Shirley Ann Beveridge, Vikki Law, Sarah Diggan and the infamous but loveable rough Jim Morgan! Still listening to Fleetwood Mac. We are off to see The Eagles on July 4th, the Kinglassie famous, and much loved by all, Becky (Ricky, Beck, Rebecca, Bex) Beveridge introduced The Eagles to us in the early eighties, which has always been in our heart and a forever favourite.
We are all sitting havin a hair of the dog at Catherines, Jim is lovin Beat It by Micheal Jackson as I type this, singing 'sheet it' instead of 'beat it' - if you know Jim, u know the script. Jacqui cracking us all up as usual. Going to T in the Park (for the 14th year) camping on the Friday night for the first time! ohhhhhhhhh so we are saying just now any way.
Anyway a bit about us for the... Read more
OBSERVER CORPS
Though I have no personal memories of the Victoria Works I would be interested to hear of any recollections of the ROC based there. The Observation Post can still be seen abve the roof and its survival is probably unique in Fife.

The Towers
I often remember walking past here on the way to visit my Auntie & Uncle Liz & Wull Marshall, they were actually my Dad's Uncle & Auntie. We lived up at the Hallows in Gallatown. I was born in 1947 and we moved to Australia in 1962. I am pretty sure there was a mad old woman that lived there and someone told me she was related (never found out). I had a paper run in Dysart and it was pretty spooky in the dark. I absolutely loved Dysart andhope to get back there soon for a holiday. Most of my relatives including Dad worked at the Dubbie.

Ravenscraig
I remember once after being warned by Mum & Dad not to climb up the rocks the the castle, but my mates talked me into it. Just got up near the top when there was a shout and a couple of Bobbies headed towards us. Off we went down the rocks, managed to get to the beach and up the steps to Ravenscraig Park and got away. Never went up there again mind.
Remember
I grew up in Kirkcaldy and this castle and its grounds was a great mass of interesting places to hide, climb and explore. It was in effect our playground between the years of 1984 through to 1988. Even the local high school (Viewforth) used the park grounds to the left of the castle and still does for cross country.
Kirkcaldy Castle Near The Beach.
I used to play in the castle and what we thought were dungeons in the middle to late 1950s. It was our playground for many years. We went to the beach nearly every day summer or winter. Loved the place to bits. My sister and younger brothers found the place magical and facsinating, even though it was in ruins it was magical to us.
