Thank you to Graeme Mackay for writing about the time when he lived at Greendykes House in the late-1960s, and for sending me the photo above of himself as a child in the fields near Greendykes House and Wauchope House in what appears to have been a very rural setting.

Greendykes House

"I grew up in Corstorphine before moving to Greendykes.  I lived at Greendykes House from 1967 to 1969, on the tenth floor as it happens.  The flats were brand new at the time.  I believe they were constructed in 1966 as were those at Wauchope House, right next door.

I loved the view from the living room balcony, but I didn’t care for the elevator or the concrete stairwell which I used on occasion, when the power was out.

The photo above was taken in 1967.  It looks towards the north, I believe.​"

Leaving Edinburgh

"We moved to Gorebridge and our neighbours, the Forman family, our dear friends at the time, subsequently moved to Aberdeenshire.
