Bad Lot

From 50 years ago in the Berwickshire News:

"WITHIN a month of being opened, the new Henderson Park has been the target for vandals, and at Tuesday’s meeting of Coldstream Town Council it was suggested the park might be put out of bounds to school children during their lunch break. Councillor W A Anderson said that children had been running over flower beds, destroying things. Councillor J M Davidson thought a ban on the use of the park by the children during their lunch break might help. Councillor I C Jack said that if this sort of action continued, they must consider taking serious action in the future."

Cameron kilts...found safe and well

The missing kilts, which many of us rememebr well, have been found safe and reasonably well. As reported in the Berwickshire News.

Good news that small boys are being weighed down by heavy-duty kilts that have now been in existence almost as long as Bob Lillie!
