Nostalgic memories of Wallyford's local history

Share your own memories of Wallyford and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

My name is Christopher Gillan lived in Fa,side Ave North. I delivered the papers up there for years 1964 ish I used to drop in at my house and read all the comics before I delivered them, my dad was always telling people are waiting on there papers in one ear oot the other. I went to Wallyford boxing club and played fitba for Musselburgh Windsor for a couple of years. Best childhood memories was playing up the bing and the castle.The green valley was also a great adventure .
My Aunt and Uncle stayed in Forthview and along with my father used to visit them on a regular basis. Their name was Harvey and their house overlooked the "Bluebelles" football park. Remember going to McGlashan's shop and along to the chipshop next to the Fa'Side Inn. I also had cousins whose name was Steedman,and they got a new house when they were built . Fa'Side Cresc I think. Anyone who remembers the families,I would like to hear from them.
