About this memory
Mary Farquhar with her children Irene (left) and Alma (right).
“I used to visit my granny [Farquhar] a lot, I helped her hang out the washing. She was a tiny woman, only about 4″ 9′. She had to stand on a stool to put out the washing. I used to brush her hair – it was down past her hips!” – Alma Laing (née Farquhar)
