Thank you to Ian Thomson who wrote:

Travel to Kirkliston

"I was a 15-year-old plumber's apprentice with Fell & Mathieson in Corstorphine.  One of the places I worked at was Maradolla Ice Cream Shop on the corner of the village of Kirkliston

In those days, it was right turn at the Maybury, out past the airfield, over the river & up the hill to reach Kirkliston.  There were no cars  It was all done by one-gear bike.

Wonderful country.  I had happy days and memories of when time didn't seem to matter."
