Holidays In Kirkconnel
A Memory of Kirkconnel.
My mum Janet Lennox and her sister Marion lived and went to school for a while in Kirkconnel as my grandfather died when they were young so my gran went to stay with family for a while rather than staying in Manchester. We had many relatives in Kirkconnel of my grandfathers so spent holidays there about 3 times a year. We do not have many relatives left there now but I still go up searching for gravestones and ancestors while doing my family tree. Our family names were Lennox, Monteith and Gallacher. My uncle lived on Back Row (Duke St) and use to send me and my brother down to the Nith to look out for jumping haggis. (think this was a ploy to get us out of the way).
