Here are my family by the side of the Water of Leith with my Grand Daughter Brogan

About this memory
2004 – with her Mum (Gillian) on her back (a collie buckie) and my other grand daughter (Robin) standing next to them. This photo was also taken just along from the “Wooden Bridge” on the side of the river on my 60th birthday.
As a child we used to catch minnows (tiny fish) just under the bridge (which you can see in the centre of the photo) and at night when it was dark the bats would come out from Legget’s Tannery and fly over the bridge.
