Whiterigg School First Job
A Memory of Plains.
I remember my first job when I lived at 48 Ballochnie Drive Plains, it was at the old Whiterigg school (re-purposed as a battery hen farm in the late sixties). The farm was owned by Sam Merry and he took me on when I left school at 15 in 1970. I stayed for 10 weeks earning the princely sum of £7 per week for 5 days and a half day on Saturdays (with some free cracked eggs on occasions!). I then quickly moved onto a better paid job (at Plains Brickwork then joined the RN 2 years later) but I always remember my first step into employment and the walk in the countryside (to and from work each day) from Plains!
