At the end of February 1968, Mr George D Matewere of the Malawi News came to Blantyre, wishing to compare our Scottish town with the city of Malawi. He visited the David Livingstone Memorial accompanied by a translator but wanted to know more about what life was like for a “typical Scottish household”.

He was then kindly invited into the home of Mr John Wilson who lived at 13 Wolcott Drive, Blantyre and given a guided tour!
