was born in a small 3 roomed crofters cottage, called. Ivy Cottage.
A single story stone built dwelling it had a small barn and byre attached
to its eastern gable wall and a large garden to the front where the
only water supply tap was located some 30 yards away at its far end.
The cottage with
its central entrance into a lobby consisted of two main rooms, the bedroom
to the left and they main living and cooking room on the right. There
was also a tiny central bedroom which we called the closet, it was entered
from the kitchen and lay behind the hallway or lobby. Click Thistle
