Nostalgic memories of Forfar's local history

Share your own memories of Forfar and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

A Wartime Memory

I was born in Forfar in 1928, and in 1940 after the fall of Poland, I was taken by my mother to see a march past of Polish troops at County Buildings, Forfar. I seem to recall that General Sikorski was taking the salute, but I might be mistaken.
