Share your own memories of Mill of Thornton 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.

If anyone knows anything about Mill of Thornton, I'd love to hear. My Great-great-grandmother was born here. She was Elizabeth Burnett, daughter of William Burnett and Margaret Duncan. Elizabeth became engaged to a young man, John Gordon, who had set his sights on settling in New Zealand. John went on ahead, and Elizabeth joined him (travelling with chaperone, Rev John Gow) in 1865, when they were married.
