My Great Aunt

A few years ago when I first came to Crieff I had a discussion with a local aquintance who asked me why I had come to stay in Scotland from England. I told him that as a boy I used to spend my summer holidays in Edinburgh and had fond memories of playing golf and also of my Great Aunt who used to come and see my Grandmother and my Aunt when I was staying. I particularly remembered sitting in her Austin A30 with her and she used to drive me around Edinburgh and as she was an expert knitter writing knitting patterns for Womans Own and other magazines. My one regret was that I did not have a photograph of her and her Austin A30. My friend David had just been to the local library to collect some of his photographs which he had taken as a youth, he then said was your great aunt's A30 like this one. To my utter amazement there was my Great Aunt Garland Galbraith captured in the snow driving through Crieff in 1958 in her beloved A30!! David kindly gave me the picture which I treasure and we have been good friends ever since. Duncan B
