Drove thru Methilhill last week, first time again in many years. Not much changed, just good memories again of the school years, Methilhill and Braehead, would love to hear from anyone who knows me. Meet up for a chat etc. I know some of my friends have past on, which is very very sad when I heard one or two names. Anyway, would be great to hear from you, and have a wee chinwag. Take care.

I was born in Buchaven in Fife. I stayed in 93 Lime Grove and have great memories of the cul de sac. An old Polish couple, the Rhodes, stayed next door, then there was the Murray's, the Capes, the Livingstones, the Wipers, the Fentons, the Mitchel's, the Cuthells and Nelly Marshall. My god we had fun! That lassie got me into lots of trouble. My brothers were Alex, Stephen, William and I had a sister Janet. I remember ...see more

I have great memories of Methilhill. We lived in Perth but my Gran Cormack lived at 147 Simon Crescent on the main road. We used to stay with her during the summer holidays. Those were the days when you knew you were in Fife becuase the buses were red, not like the Stagecoach colours nowadays. Daisy Park was a great haunt and we spent many days and evenings playing there. That chute had to be one of the ...see more
