 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!

 Gretna Green, Old Blacksmith's Shop c1955 (ref: G163019) |
This place never changes... A memory of Gretna Green, Dumfriesshire We got married here in September 2008, I had been looking at pictures on the internet for months and when we arrived, it was like driving into one of them. Gretna Green has a feeling about it, it's very small and there's not a lot to do apart from get married, but it just felt lovely being there, it's a very sweet place and I was sad to leave. The Blacksmith's Shop was beautiful, very romantic and it was wonderful to get married in such a special place and become a part of its history. We'll be back for a visit one day... x Last edited: 06/11/2008 09:08 by Tracey Barden |

Year: 1930s
William James Waugh A memory of Gretna Green, Dumfriesshire 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 |

Year: 1970
Hoddam Primary School A memory of Ecclefechan, Dumfriesshire New Added yesterday I lived in Ecclefechan from 1958 to 1973. I started Hoddam primary in 1963 and left Hoddam primary school in 1970 to go to Lockerbie Academy. My teachers at Hoddam were :- Primary 1 - Mrs Hope, Primary 2 - Mrs Patterson, Primary 3 - Mrs Davidson, Primary 4 & 5 - Mrs McBride and Primary 6 & 7 - Mr Hope. We also had a music teacher called Mrs Collinge who would turn up every wednesday and give us a lesson. If I can remember correctly some of the people in the class were :- Raymond Davidson, David Cruickshank, Ricky Graham, Shona Creelman, Amy Mason, Isabel McDowell, James Sproat and Joy Little. Apologies to the others but my brain is struggling after so many years away. The Mace shop in the village was run by Ian Murray and his wife Isobel. I was their paperboy for a couple of years (1968 - 1970). There were also Casbolts shop and Watsons in the High Street and Miss Guthries in Academy Street, famous for her penny tray. The local policeman was PC Swan. Last edited: 04/12/2008 15:10 by Joe Gilmour |

Hoddam School A memory of Ecclefechan, Dumfriesshire 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 |
