Congrats 👏 An excellent memory jogger. I signed up for the Army in 1964 down English street . I had my last cup of tea and a mars bar in the Golden Arrow café at the White Sands before i took off for my adventure at 16 years of age. I pay a return visit incognito now and again. Thanks for this wee gem 👍
Some disturbing nostalgia, and historical knowledge for me, James Stuart. All the same: Thank you. As mentioned in a previous comment to you, I resided in Dumfries with my Family (Friday 10 April 1995 until 8 June 1990). During my time there, working with British Gas (Heathhall Depot), I was responsible for mustering and deploying all Gas Board Emergency Personnel during the long night of the Lockerbie Disaster (Wednesday 21 December 1988). A night replete with horrific, soulful, disturbing remembrances. Rest in Peace. On a lighter note: All the best. Stay free. Rab 💔 🌠
Thank you so much doing this videos I really find this so interested to watch how it go s back in time so amazing I can't even take my eyes of em you must be so talented to do this so Clever ho my days 😀😍
Wow - so many memories - my father's family moved down from Falkirk in the mid-50s. They set up home in Priestland's Drive. My grandfather was Burgh Welfare Officer, my grandmother was a Ward Sister at the old Old Hospital. I went to Primary School in the Minerva Building - the old Loreburn Primary School, latrer went next door to Dumfries Academy!! To the left of Burns; Statue (on the image) was the site of the original Greyfriars Church - where Robert the Bruce killed Sir John Comyn.
My ancestor, William Graham, father of 4, born in 1778, stole a black horse in Dumfries in 1814 and was caught trying to sell it in Durham. He was given '14 Years Across the Seas; to NSW. His family joined him in 1819. He had been granted land, bought even more and his farmer sons all received land grants. William became a landlord, leasing hundreds of acres out to later arrivals. He was a Constable in the Illawarra District and his son James became second Mayor of Shoalhaven District. William is buried near James' substantial country house "Graham Lodge" (all covered in Ann Pulvertaft;s book "Given a Chance:.)
My great Grandfather, William Charters, Immigrated to the US from Dumfries in the 1870s. We are heading to Scotland in Sept. Pretty excited to see where my great Grandfather (Scotty) walked, played, and lived. Scott Charters
