School days
I lived in Mossgreen, Crossgates in the 60s. My first school was in Mossgreen, it had only 3 classrooms and 1 of the classes was taken by the headmaster Mr Suttie. Mr and Mrs Suttie lived in the headmaster's house next to the school and Mrs Suttie was a teacher at Crossgates Primary.

The outdoor pool.......................
Spending all day at the pool/beach when I was a kid.
Would go in the sea, run along to the pool, jump in the shallow end ( cos you were getting a bit cold by this time ) and bliss, it was like being in a sauna. mmmmm
Hurrying home to get a quick bite to eat then back down to pool, pulling soaking wet costume back on again. Yeuch!!!
Also remember having midnight bathing/galas, team games, i.e. diving for tins of fruit.
Those were the days................ great times.

Anyway there wasn't a trout big enough in the Teal.
Also my brother Jack taught me how to catch rabbits bare handed. We would go into a farmer's field and there ...read more here

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.
