  my father
My dad worked on the Forth Railway bridge since I was little girl and I can always remember him going to work six days a week in all weathers, I wonder does any one remember him, his name was David Wotherspoon Scott and was married to Dorothy Scott. I also wonder does any one actually think about what it was like to be a painter or rigger on the bridge?

  Year: 1920s My mothers birthplace
A memory of Huntworth, Somerset

Mine is not a personal memory but Uphall Station was the birthplace of my mother. Mum was born on the 29th of April 1924. Her parents were Hugh and Annie Campbell ( nee Mooney ). My grandparents and Mum immigrated to New Zealand in 1925. I am intending to visit Scotland in the next couple of years and will be visiting Uphall Station. As an only child Mum and I were very close and sadly she passed away 5 years ago and we were unable to travel to her birthplace together but I will keep her dream alive by coming to this often talked about, very special place with my husband.

A memory of Edinburgh, Midlothian

I now live in Houston, Texas, USA. My birth certificate has a written record of my being baptized in St James Church in Leith, but I cannot find any record of the church, which was near Gt Junction Street, Leith. Thanks. Morty Grant, born in Lapicide Place, Leith.
