School days
I lived in Mossgreen, Crossgates in the 60s. My first school was in Mossgreen, it had only 3 classrooms and 1 of the classes was taken by the headmaster Mr Suttie. Mr and Mrs Suttie lived in the headmaster's house next to the school and Mrs Suttie was a teacher at Crossgates Primary.

Carefree Childhood Days
I remember 'guddling' for trout in the Teal Burn in Auchtertool. Most of the lads in the village tried it at one time or another.

The outdoor pool.......................
Spending all day at the pool/beach when I was a kid.
Would go in the sea, run along to the pool, jump in the shallow end ( cos you were getting a bit cold by this time ) and bliss, it was like being in a sauna. mmmmm
Hurrying home to get a quick bite to eat then back down to pool, pulling soaking wet costume back on again. Yeuch!!!
Also remember having midnight bathing/galas, team games, i.e. diving for tins of fruit.
Those were the days................ great times.

OBSERVER CORPS
Though I have no personal memories of the Victoria Works I would be interested to hear of any recollections of the ROC based there. The Observation Post can still be seen abve the roof and its survival is probably unique in Fife.
