When L First Moved to Wellbank
When I was two I moved out to Wellbank from Sheil Hill near Tealing. When my house was getting built I got my photo taken in the foundations. Mattocks Primary School's extension was just getting built at the time. Wellbank has many wells and so far I have found 3 but I can't tell you where they are because it's secret. That's why it is called Wellbank: Bank of wells. In the winter of 2001 it was really snowy so me and my dad made a snowman while my grandad was trying to dig himself out of his house. However in the winter of 2002 it was so bad there was a three feet high drift of snow so me and my grandad made a wall of snow with people on top. Thanks for reading.

RE: RE: When L First Moved to Wellbank
Hi Does anyone remember the youth hostel at Glen Clova My father came from Dundee and has recently celebrated his 80th birthday and together we went visiting Scotland and all his old haunts for a week. It was lovely to see the place where my ancestors came from in Kirriemuir and to go up Dundee Law where he went with his sister at a very early age. But we went to visit the youth hostels and we found the one at Auchmithie but could not find the one at Glen Clova, which he feels used to be a wooden hut like building. I would love to get him an old picture as a keepsake of the youth hostel and if anyone knows where I could get one would appreciate it. Kind regards Debbie
