Dumfriesshire memories
Old Mill
From 1954 to 1965, every summer, I would travel from Belgium and spend the entire month of July at the Old Mill in Hightae. I will never forget. I would get on Grandad's bicycle and visit my uncle in Lochmaben, I would also spend hours at the Burgess's farm nearby. I use to love biking to the Post Office in Hightae (J. Laidlaw was her name if I recall correctly). Souvenirs .. souvenirs.
I have never been back to Scotland since but I will simply never forget.

Childhood Days
I was born in Wamphray my, grandparents lived there for 80 years. I lived in a cottage called the HASS, it is no longer there. I went to school in Wamphray, Miss Wedderburn was the headmistress, she was a bitch.
Early Childhood
Maiden name was Boyes, I lived at the Hass with my mum and dad and I had four brothers, they were Vyon, Morris, Graham and Leslie. I went to Wamphary School, we walked to school every day, my brother Leslie and me and my friend Evlin Easton, it was three miles there and three miles back. The teacher was Mrs Wetherburn, I liked her. It was good living there. My grandparents lived at Kirkburn in wamphary for a very long time. We had our own bees and had our own pig and hens and ducks, and geese, and grew our own veg and had lovely flowers also. My best memories are of Wamphary.
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.

MEMORIES OF GROWING UP IN DUMFRIES
I was born in Cresswell maternity hospital at Dumfries on May 13th 1959, my name was Ann Little. My mum came from Clerkhill, one side of the Nith and my dad came from the other, Sandside. They both met in their teens one night at the Loreburn Hall dance, and from there on they got married and had four children, I am the second child and their first daughter. We were brought up and lived in Lincluden all our lives and my mum and dad still live there to this day, as do I with my husband Charles. We all went to St Teresa's primary school in Lochside, and I can remember having to walk there and back in all sorts of weather, nobody had cars in thoses days. School days were really good as you got a two course hot meal a day, also a bottle of milk every morning before you started your lessons, if you were lucky you got two bottles of milk. Growing up and living in Lincluden... Read more
National Service
I was posted to Dumfries in december 1951 to do 8 weeks training in the RAF Regiment. Although it was winter and rather rigorous, I did enjoy my time there and liked the town and remember looking around in Robert Burns house. I was 18 then, I am now 78... ( 2012) and will be 79 in June. These memories have always remained in my mind ...... I am relieved to say ! John Starley.
