1 Elly s day out in Eddleston, Peebleshire 9 th August 2017 My mother, Esmé, was born in Elgin in 1926 and lived in Eddleston between the ages of 3 and 18. My mother was brought up in the house on the corner of Bellfield Road and the Edinburgh Road. Her father, Alec Weedy was the Headmaster of Eddleston Village School. My parents, Esme and Bill met in London during the Second World War. My father was from Birkenhead, Cheshire and was in the RAF (stationed at Biggin Hill, Kent). My mother was studying Occupational Therapy. They met at a party in October My parents married in Eddleston Parish Church on 11 th September I did not know my maternal grandparents. My mother s mother, Isa, died in 1950 and my mother s father, Alec, died in 1958 the same year as I was born. Old postcard of Eddleston Village: early 20 th century precise date unknown A heartfelt note of thanks: I am indebted to Susan Donoghue for her kindness and hospitality, for showing me round the village and for supplying some of the photos. Susan went to a lot of trouble to provide me with information about the people who were former pupils of my grandfather s and to collate some of their memories of him. I am so very grateful to her. I also want to thank Susan for giving me one of my Grandfather s paintings. It had not left the village since he painted it in 1912 two years before Granddad faced the horrors of WW1 where he served, in Flanders, as an ambulance driver. I would also like to thank all the ladies and gentlemen I met at A Bite & A Blether at Eddleston Village Hall and for making me feel so welcome. View from the bus on the way to Eddleston the beautiful Borders In August 2017 I was visiting Edinburgh with friends so I took the opportunity to spend a day in Eddleston, to meet some of the people who remember my grandfather (including some people who were taught by Mr Weedy ) and to visit my grandparents grave to pay my respects. I had not visited Eddleston since I was a little girl. Here are some photos from my visit and some old photos of the village and the people.

15 Eddleston underwater I do not know when these old photos were taken but I am guessing it was during the 1940s or 1950s. I tried to research reports of floods in Eddleston but could not find specific dates just references to Eddleston Water (which joins the Tweed at Peebles) being liable to flooding. I found the photos of the flood in this envelope addressed to my grandfather.
