    The Fochabers Burn actually flow past the OLD High School which is now the Primary School which we will see in a later video. Hope you enjoy our walks around our village.

    Super video…..I lived in Fochabers in Duncan Avenue, from 1972 to 1978…was 10 when I moved there, went to Milne’s High School….how the village has grown…..I had many happy times there, scouts, bowling club…swimming at the Pinney….in the Spey….berry picking at Duncan’s farm….great place to live……I now live in Jersey…..bit different….thanks for making the video…many happy memories….

    • @DesmondsDonders
      @DesmondsDonders  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Now there is a change Fochabers to Jersey. Our son went to Milnes High School. The village has grown and is growing more with houses been built off the Ordiequish Road. Sounds like you had a great time growing up. We have come to re-appreciate where we live with the lockdowns of the past two years. Thank you for sharing your memories.
