Happy Days At Templand

A Memory of Templand.

I'm now 73 years of age, and went every year for my holidays - From I was about 6 till I got married at 21. I went to the Burrance Farm to my Uncle Jake and Martha Carruthers.
My cousins were Maisie and Nan Dirom, two sisters married to two brothers. A Templand boy, Dave Halliday married my sister, Grace. I often wonder about wee Eadie Mason. One drunken night, I offered to give "a bar" (lift) on the push bike from Lochmaben to Templand. Unfortunately, I was too drunk and she gave the bar. Happy Days
