Aah just found this video my mum’s family lived at Meadowmill and had a travelling shop ..I remember the newsagent in the photo (Robertsons ?) they did lush orange ice cream :) and the power station at Cockenzie used to love watching the Merry Go Round trains going in and out there …still have relatives in Prestonpans,Port Seton and Ormiston
I have found historical family records indicating that I had distant paternal ancestors from East Lothian in Scotland during the 1700s who immigrated to Jamaica as merchants and settled in St James Parish where they owned plantations and estates like Flower Hill and Lethe
4:53 was the school way back when, the large white house attached is Eliza Cottage, my gran and grandad owned that, bought from the previous owner who used it as a garage, new roof, and re-landscaped the back garden, done in the 80's and still looks amazing today
Hello Shaun My name is Thomas Tam Murdoch my wife is Jean Bober her mother was Janet Douglas who is related to May. I knew May too. I had a few drinks with her and Sandy in The Tower. I also new Sonny Fitzsimmons when he stayed in Pinkie. We live in Victoria B. C. I take it there is a Canadian connection. I sent you a friend request. If you want to say hello by all means. Cheers!
I absolutely love this, very well done Shaun. I grew up down the road near Port Seton. East Lothian has such a special place in my heart.
