A Memory of Carronbridge.

My father was John Grant, Headmaster of Carronbridge Primary from 1956 - 1977 and I was aged 11yrs when we moved there and therefore attended Morton Academy as it was known then. I have a brother Frank who attended Carronbridge Primary then Dumfries Academy. I remember the Ireland family who lived next door and in particular Nancy, their eldest daughter, who was infatuated with Elvis Presley and played his records non stop, wonder if any members of the family remember us? I also remember the little shop in the middle of the village which seemed to stock everything and a young daughter that died very young due to an asthma attack. I also remember the village hall and used to play badminton there. My maiden name was Ann Grant - love to hear from anyone who remembers us! My email address: annbelleni@hotmail.co.uk
