Views From Afar:: Jean Millar (nee Craig) from Edinburgh. My father (now deceased) was called Peter Craig (aged 86)from East Linton, He had a few brothers one I think was James Craig. His father was called James I think also. The street names are also significant to my childhood. My grandfather lived in Lauder Place and Browns Place. My mother was also at Phantassie Farm (she is now 86) where she was in the land army and met my father there also. Anyone with any connection can email the above.

Peter Craig contacted us from Edinburgh again:
My grandad and granny lived at Lauder Place. My few memories are of fruit in the garden and a big old black range. His name was Peter Craig too and my dad was Peter as well.

Julia Bounab has contacted us from Edinburgh:
"I grew up in East Linton, my mother Helen Loch lived there and for many years I lived there. She ran Smeaton nuseries with Stewart, I loved the differant seasons we had walking around Smeaton Lake, the haymaking and bluebell woods. Its a beautiful place and I still love and miss it. I now stay In Edinburgh with my daughter but plan to move South in a few years.But every now and then my thought turn to the village and farm and I feel homesick."

Sue Craig has contacted us from Spain:
"We left Scotland in June 2007 to live in Javea, Spain. As much as I enjoy our new life, I still have a great nostalgia for East Linton and Fortune Bank, where I have a lot of friends.
I'm very bad at keeping up to date with correspondence, but don't want to lose touch with all the lovely people I know, so this website will be very useful for me. Thank You!
When I've got more time I'll send some photographs.
Best Wishes
Sue & William"

Peter Craig has contacted us from Edinburgh

"I was born in East Linton due to my father working at phantassie and mother in land army where they met and moved to Edinburgh age 6.
I visited grandad in Browns Place during my school holidays, meeting him outside the Red Lion to walk up for tea.
At 17 seeing my beloved grandfather buried in Prestonkirk I always feel a strong feeling I'm being pulled back to the village.
As I live in Edinburgh hope to get down more and definitely on gala day"
