My brothers and I trudged to and from Watsons every day. Then they shot through to be in the Navy, I went to the University, mostly at Kings Buildings I think it was called. Did a degree in civil engineering. I will check out the others too, for sure. Regards Adam Dave, we stayed in Cluny Place, at the end of Cluny Ave. This was 1948-1960.

Where did you stay in Morningside? I only ask because that where I live now - on Morningside Road. Do look at the other articles too - both of them are talented photographers and nice people to boot...and both fellow flickr users. Dave Hi Adam,

Thanks :-)

Well done! I was so interested and pleased to read the article in the Stockbridge Voice and to see that small and very fine collection of your pictures. They are very very good. You seem to have a knack for capturing the essence of things. That's what the images say to me anyway. You have come to photography in a weird way, quite the opposite to most people, including me. I started more than 50 years ago, developing b/w films in a cupboard under the stairs in Morningside. I also used to walk the hills, but left Scotland in 1960 and have never been back. I am going to tag the Stockbridge Voice, it'll give me a taste of "home" - once a Scot always a Scot, although I have been a neutralised sorry naturalised Australian for 28 years. All the best Adam Dave!
