Hoddam School
I remember going to Hoddam School when Sydney Hope was the Head Master. I remember him being a very fair and nice person. There was a Mrs McBride and a Mrs Davidson that taught there. My Name was Morrison back then. I remember going to Watson's and The Mace for sweeties. I know that the school is no longer there which I think is a shame. It has been a long time since I last was there. I live in Vancouver, Canada now. Posted: 09/05/2008 07:53 by Marjory Mitford |

Childhood Memories
My Granny & Papa lived in the shepherds house in Kettleholm. William and Margaret Morrison. I loved to go and visit them or sleep over. I have lots of memories playing there as a child, watching my Papa bowling, or my dad, John Morrison and my uncle Keith Morrison play cricket at Castlemilk. My dad and uncle both worked for Castlemilk as mechanics. I remember having to be dragged to school by a boy who live close by, his name was Robert Davidson, I believe he is a policeman now. We lived at Beechwood by Castlemilk and I loved to play with Linda Hunter whose grandparents lived next door. I remember exploring the castle grounds and finding overgrown gardens full of gooseberry bushes. Lots of wonderful memories. Posted: 09/05/2008 08:06 by Marjory Mitford |

 Kirkpatrick Fleming, Mossknowe House c1955 (ref: K110001) |
Mossknowe House -- Teackle Mansion in the US
I live in the State of Maryland in the US and have never been to Scotland, although our family geneology has been traced there. My reason for writing is this house. In my town of Princess Anne, Maryland, we have a house known as Teackle Mansion, built in 1802 by Littleton Dennis Teackle who toured Scotland in 1799 and was inspired by the architecture to recreate, to the best of his abilities, a Scottish manor house which he encountered. Mossknowe House is the one we (the historical society of Somerset County, Maryland) believe to be the one. I will provide you with a link to the Teackle Mansion in Princess Anne so you can see for yourselves! Do you know if the home is privately owned? If so, is there any way in which we can contact the owners to share this information? Thank you so much for this site!

Year: 1930s
William James Waugh
My memory doesn't go back that far as I was born in 1952 but I have a special reason for seeking anyone who knows this person and would be glad to hear from anyone who can tell me anything about him. His birth certificate says that he was born at The Old Toll Bar , Sarkbridge on 27.01.1932. Many thanks, Heather Trevorrow. Posted: 28/03/2008 12:38 by Heather Trevorrow |

 Canonbie, Cross Keys c1955 (ref: C360022) |
Year: 1955
Cross Keys Garage
Seeing these photographs has taken me right back in time. We moved to Canonbie in 1950. My father and uncle owned the Cross Keys Garage seen in the background of this photo next to the hotel. The two bungalows beyond were built for us and my Uncle & Aunt.{Stan & Margaret Cluley} and my mum and dad {Gordon & Iris Flitcroft} I grew up in this village and have my own memories on my website. www.joanmac.co.uk The photographs on this sight have evoked more memories and taken me back to a wonderful childhood. The hotel when we moved to the village was still under State Management. The Fairy Loup was also one of our favourite walks as we went to visit our friends at Thorniewhats, [Linda Laidlaw's family] Thank-you for the memories.
