The Town Where I Was Born.
A Memory of Stoneyburn.
I was born in 1 Auld Raws, next to the close which was next to Tanny shop and Green Tree Pub. I would be 6 at the time; we used to go to the Fulshie Pit Road and watch for the miners comin home and we would shout, "hey mister, you got any pit pieces?" We would sometimes get a dryed oot piece wi butter and jam - 'bliss'. The mums used to make rag rugs, it was a great past time; they would go to one another's house and compare their work of art. We were quite posh, we had an inside toilet and wash tub wi coal fire underneath. We only had light bulbs in the house and the electricity came from the pit. I only wish I had photos of the Auld Raws...'happy times'.
