Visit to Auntie's
I remember being quite excited when Mum (Jessie Beattie} and I would take the bus from Blantyre to Glasgow and then another to Lennoxton to visit my father's sister Mary Richmond {nee Blair} and my 3 cousins Jean, Claude and Samuel. We took this route regularly. The round trip would take us all day. They lived in Janesfield Place then, and did so for many years. I enjoyed listening to the stories of their days on the farm in Twechar. My father was William Beattie from Twechar farm, Twechar. I moved to Australia and lost touch. I would love to contact any of the Richmond or Furness families. Marion Anderson {nee Beattie}

I was very interested to read about the Blairs and Beatties, my mother was Liz Stephenson, Wullie Beattie's cousin. She was always talking about his achievements as a strong man. I was born in Twechar but moved to Wales 45 years ago. Best wishes, Robert Wright.
