I was brought up in the Stewart Crescent prefabs before moving to the Main Street flats west of Macainsh Church
and ended up in Park Street after 30 years in Station Road.
My late parents, Tom and Grace, were the only husband and wife to serve on Lochgelly Town Council and Fraser Drive was named after
them.
I started work as a reporter for the Lochgelly
Times and then spent 30 years with Scotsman Publications before becoming sports writer for the Dunfermline Press in 1995.
I was also a director of Cowdenbeath
FC for 18 years up until their championship success in 2006, their first since 1939.
My wife Anne (Howieson) and I bought Lochgelly
Post Office in Bank Street in 1989 and she ran it very successfully until we both retired in 2001.
I started this site for former Lochgelly folk and I have had amazing feedback from all over the world - see the Memories pages. This site has been in the Google top five for Lochgelly for seven years despite having
no commercial input.
Thanks for visiting and please come back soon.
