Fallin Primary School
A Memory of Fallin.
I remember the old school which was opposite the kirk and also Tortilano's ice cream shop. I started school in 1951/52 I think it was, and Capt Gracie was the Headmaster who ruled as though he was still in the army. I lived in Hawthorn Drive, or was it Crescent, before moving to Balure Crescent. I also remember the big fire at the end of Balure Crescent where there were someone killed. I also have a sister, Pam, who was born in1950 and went to Falin School also. I also remember Sinclairs newsagents shop, by what was then the swing park, with the police station across the road, and the PC was called Bill Cummings and had a daughter Lorna. The doctor was called King and lived on the road up towards the pit. I has a friend there called Hugh Blevines.

My father was very friendly with Dr King and fished with him on the River Teith near Calendar. I started going fishing with my father when I was about 8. We went with a miner called James McManus "Manchie". He and his wife Sarah lived at 17 Hawthorn Crescent.
