Bruce St.
A Memory of Plains.
I remember moving from Caldercruix to the new scheme and it was great to have a bath in the house!!! They hadn't laid paths or put up fences but everyone was so pleased to get a new house it didn't matter. They started building more houses accross the road and Annieshill View that building site was our playground I don't think Health & Safety had been heard of then!!! Wen they did start putting up fences for our back gardens there was a load of stobs left overnight and we kids proceeded to build a log cabin which was taken down the next day by the fencers. I also remember going to St. David's School in Whiterigg and several buses picked us up at Wallace Street and if you missed the bus you had to walk to the school which was really quite enjoyable on a dry day. I remember getting milk from a farm, I think it was Morton's, but you had to take your own container. I really have lots of happy memories of staying in Whiterigg Caldercruix and then Plains and often recall many of the families who were brought up with me. There were the Allisons, the Culls, the Costellos, the Kanes, the Laffertys, the Queens, the Lambies, The Raffertys, the McIlhattons, the McIlduffs, the Brophies and many many more.
