My gran and grandpa were Cathy(nee Niven) and Curly McConnachie. They lived in Sorn Street in Catrine. My mum was their daughter Rena and Jim was her brother.
So many happy memories of Catrine from getting sweets out of Roxburgh's shop and Jackie Whites. The cattle show every year and going 'up the watter ' * * *
Admin reply: I remember your family well. Betty Bates was your grands sister and I was always best pals with Davy. I wrote a poem about Betty. She was a great character.

reading your website has brought back so many memories. As a young boy i travelled and stayed in Catrine many many times. My Father Haydn was a furniture delivery driver and would deliver to the warehouse by the side of Mill Square where, on one trip he made friends with Ian and Evelyn Campbell who ran a cafe. I then spent many happy summers staying with them and their sons John, Hugh and louis. I am in my 60th year now and will return one day to look around, see old stomping grounds and the changes that has taken place. So many happy memories. Lynn.
