Dysart In The 60s

A Memory of Dysart.

I was brought up in Dysart, first in Howard Place then the High Street, where my mum and dad still live. I remember all the shops that were there in the 1960s when I was a little girl, the little wool shop where you could buy odd buttons etc, the 2 storey Co-op, the drapers, the butchers, the shop on the corner where I remember buying confetti for going to my cousin's wedding - all sadly gone now. It's amazing that a place so small had so much in it. I remember the town clock, and how notices were pinned to the door where the bellringer went, telling the Dysartonians of births, weddings and deaths.
I have so many happy memories of playing at the harbour and down at the 'Granny Rock', my mum always knew where she could find me. Happy days indeed.

My Granny lived in Edington place and my great grandad in the braes. I played on the shore, fished with my Di near the Granny Rock and used the rope swing opposite Miss Meikle's house. There was a wee shop below the school. A walk to The Man In The Rock was always a highlight. My Di operated the crossing and counted the coal trucks as he retired and we took his pigeons to the station to be taken to races in England and France. Happy days.
