Buttercup Dairy Farm "I used to play with a boy who lived on the farm in the mid-1950s when we both attended Parkgrove Primary School. I believe that he moved to Drumbrae School when it opened." |

I sent an email to Bill Scott to let him know about the photos of the Buttercup Dairy Co. pot that I had added to this page (above). Bill is author of the book: "The Buttercup: The Remarkable Story of Andrew Ewing and the Buttercup Dairy Company". Bill replied, referring to the pot as a 'crock pot'. Thanks for that, Bill. I've now added that to the captions of the photos above. |

Bill added Buttercup Dairy Farm "I'm was intrigued that Stewart Scott played with somebody at the Buttercup farm in the mid-1950s. It wasn't me, but it might have been my cousin, Duncan MacMillan, who was a couple of years older than me." Bill Scott: Alnwick, Northumberland, England: December 16, 2013 |
