If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My grandfather who was a retired Glasgow policeman purchased a house called "Kibi" in Balkurach Street in the 1930s.
I was evacuated to Doune in 1940 and stayed there most of the war years.
My aunts Grace McPherson and Babs McDonald ran the grocery shop on Balkurach Street up until the early 1950s.

I have been researching my great-grandfather. I found out that he was born at The Porters Lodge, Doune in 1848.

My parents were 'in service' to the local 'laird' who was Lord Doune, traditionally the eldest son of the Earl of Moray and owner of lands around Doune. Lord Doune owned the beautiful old mansion on the hill 1.5 miles north of Doune on the Callander road.

I lived in Surrey but used to travel to Doune to visit Margaret & George Paterson who owned Watston Farm in Doune. Living in a city I loved going up to the farm for holidays and had my last visit to them in 1973 when I came over from Australia with my husband, son and daughter (where I moved to in 1963). I am visiting Scotland again in September 08 and look forward to revisiting Doune, Kippen and Stirling where I have happy memories of great holidays. Bette Schoots (nee Miller).
