Looking at the old photographs on your web site brought back a load of memories - I used to live with my parents on Riverside rd /villas (I think that's what it was called)it was just across the road from the school next to the bridge.
I've just checked Catrine out on Google street view and I am amazed that the School is no longer there and the new mill as been demolished (My Dad was the manager at the mill in the 60's)We moved away from Catrine in 1966.
Its a shame that I cant find my school photograph from that year. I do remember that for some reason some of my schools classes were held at the Brown Institute, just before the connecting foot bridge was sweep away during a storm.
Is Jacobs ladder still on the slope leading to Ballochmyle.
I used to carry my golf clubs all the way up these to get to the golf club.
Keep up the good work with the website, if I can locate any photographs from the 60's I will send you them, I know my Dad took quite a few when we lived there.

My gran Betty Watson lived here until recently until she passed, she loved the village and it was a beautiful place to visit . I don't think I'll ever come back but it will Always be in our hearts .
Admin reply: I was sorry to here Betty had died recently. Your Gran and Grampa were our next door neighbours in Shawlands street when I was just a youngster in the 50's.
