After finding this site by mistake, I find two people looking for people ,from both my Maternal and Paternal sides of my family. James Patterson Jnr. - Victoria. I was just looking up info. It is boring there is nothing to do and no where to go. I was looking through the towns and villages section and it brough back so many memories of school days, Sunday School trips to Sandyhills and the Saturday shopping trip into Castle Douglas on the bus.
People are very helpful and friendly.
I think it was on the main street of your city. We wanted to stay there on our next visit, but had forgotten how to find it. We soon found out that this home was right across the street from the home we stayed in before. T his is not earthshaking news, but I did want to share this with you because of our love of your beautiful country and friendly people. When I was in the U.S. Navy in 1947 our aircraft carrier was anchored near the Forth Bridge near Edinburgh.
