Strone Youth Hostel

I have fond memories of Strone. My mother was the warden at the SYHA hostel at Strone which was Dunselma on the hill. Strone Primary was my first school. I remember the US floating docks and the protesters who stayed at the hostel. They used to protest on the pier at Sandbank and rowed out to the submarines when they came into the dock. I also remember Strone House. When we went to Glasgow we had to walk down the hill to get the ferry at Blairgowrie as the Strone pier had closed.
