Dumfriesshire memories

Hoddam School

I remember going to Hoddam School when Sydney Hope was the Head Master. I remember him being a very fair and nice person. There was a Mrs McBride and a Mrs Davidson that taught there. My Name was Morrison back then. I remember going to Watson's and The Mace for sweeties. I know that the school is no longer there which I think is a shame. It has been a long time since I last was there. I live in Vancouver, Canada now.

Mossknowe House -- Teackle Mansion in the US

Kirkpatrick Fleming, Mossknowe House c1955

I live in the State of Maryland in the US and have never been to Scotland, although our family geneology has been traced there. My reason for writing is this house.

In my town of Princess Anne, Maryland, we have a house known as Teackle Mansion, built in 1802 by Littleton Dennis Teackle who toured Scotland in 1799 and was inspired by the architecture to recreate, to the best of his abilities, a Scottish manor house which he encountered.

Gretna Green, Old Blacksmith's Shop c1955

We got married here in September 2008, I had been looking at pictures on the internet for months and when we arrived, it was like driving into one of them.  Gretna Green has a feeling about it, it's very small and there's not a lot to do apart from get married, but it just felt lovely being there, it's a very sweet place and I was sad to leave.  The Blacksmith's Shop was beautiful, very romantic and it was wonderful to get married in such a special place and become a part of its history. We'll be back for a visit one day...  x

William James Waugh

My memory doesn't go back that far as I was born in 1952 but I have a special reason for seeking anyone who knows this person and would be glad to hear from anyone who can tell me anything about him. His birth certificate says that he was born at The Old Toll Bar , Sarkbridge on 27.01.1932.
Many thanks, Heather Trevorrow.
