Edit Grand people
The times I've spent looking back on the years I spent in Blackhill. People cringe when I say am fae there but better folk won't be found, of course it has its bad points and its villians etc. but most communities have them not that its acceptable, but its unfortunately party of our heritage.
I was a child girl growing up here and as an adult my home was here my family have lived here for generations and I will tell my grandweans of the place I grew up in and when it's time for me to leave this earth it will be the cemetery within the comunity where I will lie.
I remember the pond bray and the set of toilets that were at the top of those great many steps I also remember the old community hut that held the lunch club, until we got another community centre, unfortunately no longer standing.
But it was the good folk fae here that campaigned to get the community centre and the police station.
The shops I remember fondly in Craigendmuir St. Harry Campbell had one and launderette bills van for the milk and bread at nite when you ran out and the carry out if yer thirsty.
Then there was the ice cream vans. Ownie had them for yrs and tick was something you got when you were skint not if ye wur bad.
Anyway I'd go on and on if I could but you may get bored.
