Well old Dunfermline, my Dad and Grandparents lived in the house that’s in the middle of the pic!
Wow, this house hasn’t changed one bit – if this is 1961, then it would have housed all the Macdonalds (except Ann) and Mary and Nana on the top floor with Sandy? the dog, and the tortoise in the garden!
I used to work with Willie Hamilton whose shop was just round the corner on the right
Can’t believe all these buses trying to manoeuvre through Chapel street and Pilmuir st now
Will that be the wall of the Gillespie Memorial Church on the right hand side?
Looks the lads had either been at. or were going to the swimming. Going wrong way for the baths, maybe a Karate/judo club close by?
Hi Andew loved the photos and the stories about Dunfermline. It bring back memories of the days I spent in Rosyth. I remember when i went to Saint Margarets school and walked around. I miss those days it brings tears to my eyes looking at these old pictures and thinking of the time I spent with my family. Ill always remember the times i spent living in Dunfermline. God Bless your family
