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 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.
Dumfriesshire memories
Lorna's Golden Years!
I, Lorna Miller, lived at Roundstonefoot from 1973 until the present day. I was as happy as Larry bringing up the 4 children there whilst Jimmy was away working! There were always some calves and lambs to be feeding. All was good apart from the midges!
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 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.

Hoddam School
I remember going to Hoddam School when Sydney Hope was the Head Master. I remember him being a very fair and nice person. There was a Mrs McBride and a Mrs Davidson that taught there. My Name was Morrison back then. I remember going to Watson's and The Mace for sweeties. I know that the school is no longer there which I think is a shame. It has been a long time since I last was there. I live in Vancouver, Canada now.
