Some of you may have noticed that Jessie, the East Linton village clock has stopped at twelve for a while. This is because big changes are taking place.

The clock has been wound about 350 turns every week by hand since Queen Victoria's Jubilee, when the clock was installed.

The weights have been removed and an electric motor is being installed which will save a climb up the ladders to keep her going.

Many thanks go to Ian Govan for winding the clock for so many years (59 in all), rain sun or snow.

Jessie will be stopped at 12 o'clock till her workings are refurbished and the new electric motors fitted.
