David MacFarlane in his magazine articles often highlights events from the past. But what about the magazine in the past?
Until last year the magazine was produced for publication in print. But it WAS made available online from 2007. Not always so easy to find or with a 3D display as now, but it was there, and most are STILL there in a digital archive. They are a fascinating record of Peebles Old and Eddleston over these past years. You probably won’t find many of the print copies still around and they were in black and white.

I enjoyed reading the on-line church magazine relating to, In particular, the Peebles Parish Church. Back in my youth, up until joining the RAF in 1957 at the age of nineteen, I was as a member of the church, in the church choir and youth fellowship. Many good and happy memories. One thing that was special was when a fellow member of the Y. F. Avril Rennie directed a three act Scottish comedy, called ‘The Laird of Glenshueke’ (not sure about the spelling) in the Parish Church Hall, situated near the Cross Kirk. I was cast in the part of the Laird and Greta Milne cast as my Lady wife! The play and cast of several turned out to be so successful it ran for extra nightsinput. Raising good funds. As I remember there was a play programme produced! Is it possible that a present day church member has, or knows of, an existing copy of that programme or has any memories of the play? Perhaps even one of the cast, although, I am aware that many of those have passed on! Then, I would welcome your input and if possible, a copy of the programme. Thanks Jackie Smith.
Hello Jackie,
Great to hear from you and by your email address I take it that you’re now in Australia?
I’ll put your comments in the June edition and hopefully we might get a positive response. I have some old photos of the halls there (I did some of my primary schooling there in the seventies while Kingsland was being rebuilt and modernised) which I can include. Some of the folk involved in the youth fellowship then like Tom Fairbairn, Sheila Murray and Marianne Ewart are sadly no longer with us but there will be others who may remember. Here’s hoping!
Kind regards
David MacFarlane
