Swimming
A Memory of Eastriggs.
Swimming at Eastriggs consisted of swimming in the sea when the tide was in because when the tide went out all that remained was miles of mud flats.
However the local youths (of which I was one) created our own swimming pool by building a dam in the Dornock burn where the banks were slightly wider than the rest of the burn. We spent many hours bulding and rebuilding the dam and over a time the pool was deep enough to swim and dive in. I should think that most of the youth in Eastriggs learned to swim there. In the summer one question often asked of your friends was, "Are you going for a dook down the burn?".
I lived in Eastriggs from 1933 to 1945 and have many memories of my time there.
