Recollections 1. John (Ian) Davie Longniddry, East Lothian, Scotland |
|
Thank you to John (Ian) Davie who lived at Station Road then Wauchope Avenue, Craigmillar and attended Craigmillar Primary School for adding: Prestonfield Primary School "Residence in Craigmillar was interspersed for a year or so when we moved to Burdiehouse and I attended Prestonfield Primary School." I recall playing football for the school team. My mother had to wash the strip each week." The headmaster was a bald-headed man named Mr. Hendry. He was always jovial and I remember him telling our class that his favourite word was 'piping' as in piping-hot." John (Ian) Davie: Longniddry, East Lothian, Scotland: August 1+9, 2009 |

Home at Greendykes "I lived in 39 Greendykes Terrace from 1952 until 1957when my family moved to Canada. I have many fond memories of my time as a young girl in Greendykes." Prestonfield Primary School "I was enrolled in Prestonfield School and would walk to the bus, to and fro, every day, rain or shine. I remember: - playing at the little park with a gang of kids: so much fun! - the bonfires at Guy Fox Night, and raiding the other people’s bonfires to get more wood! I still think of the many friends I left behind when my family left for Canada. I was back in Scotland to return my mother’s ashes, and spent a few hours at Prestonfield School having a look around. Unfortunately did not make it over to Greendykes." Irene Craig (née Bennett), Canada: August 4, 2014 |
