Duncan Slater shared this photo, adding, “This is a picture taken in 1940 . My aunt Ellen (Duncan) lived at the row of houses at Calderside. She worked at a farm just up the road on the right. On the back of the pictures it states the date (1940) also taken at the farm.” Perhaps […]
Today, I turn 50 (how on earth did that happen!?) So appropriately, i thought I’d post a picture of my ancestors, for without them, of course I wouldn’t be here. Personal to our family, this one is an important photo not just for its age, but also because of who’s in it! The date is […]

To mark the occasion, I looked out an old photo of my family (The Duncans) who visited Rabbie’s Cottage in Ayrshire in 1925. Pictured at the back with his head peering […]

Shared here by Bill Duncan, the photo shows a rare, expanded view of the 3 storey tenement building. Bill’s mother is to the left and fellow neighbours, Mrs Savage […]
