Bob Watson- New Aberdour

Bob was brought up on the farm Mains of Aberdour and led an interesting life, from farmers Loon to fish worker and on to the Army Technical core where he served abroad for years. He then worked with BT but his main calling was always the Scots Language, Music, and Culture.

Well done Bob! You have a passion for music and local history.

Yes indeed. Bob is at the forefront of our traditional music and one of the bastions of local history and genuine research. Lovely gentleman.

Good to see you looking so well, Bob. Great stories and music here. I remember when you, Allan and I took it in turns driving between the Broch and Peterheid when we worked for Post Office Telephones. That was before it became British Telecom and all that privatisation malarky.
