Breich Burn

A Memory of Stoneyburn.

We all used to go to the burn every day in the summer with a bag of pieces of carluke steak (jam), we were there all day building dams to make the water deeper. When the pit horn sounded we knew the miners would be coming home with spare pit pieces. I learned to swim in the Briech Burn.

Remember the "Dookie" with great fondness, quick way to learn how to swim, you had no choice, sink or swim. Fire going, jam pieces, all day entertainment, thanks for the memory
