My First Holiday 1950.

A Memory of Cruden Bay.

My parents took me to Cruden Bay when I was born, that was in 1950. I still have the photograph, me in my pram ,with my dad at the bridge. Looking on was a well known old man, Willum Tait, he lived in the house opposite with Tan, who I remember well. This is the first I have known about this site, I only got told about it tonite, when I was down at the harbour, am just up for a few days on holiday. Have got lots of memories about the place, which I would love to share, Ocean Pearl, Ewings Shop, Bertie Bruce, Sandie Bodie, John and Rena Tait to name just a few of the happy memories, and also a few sad ones as well, a tragic accident in about 1957, when my playmate was killed by a vechile opposite the ladies bridge. Anyway lots of memories, and will look forward to sharing them, and learning new things about the village.
