Happy Birthday, Robert!!

I wish the quality was better so you can see at :20 that he's building the roof with palm leaves.

Hi Robin, As part of Kirkcudbright Summer Festivities Program, there is an evening in the Tolbooth called Times Past.I have been asked to come up with some entertainment for the occasion,I have some old clips gathered together of Kirkcudbright and the surrounding area. I was wondering if you would allow me to download some of your Vintage Pieces and show them, which would be really excellent.If you are in agreement would you send me some family information so I can introduce the videos. I hope you do not mind me asking this. Best Wishes Sam. [email protected]

Ok, my fam, I just got a fun idea! This summer, let's recreate the Isle scene in a tribute to the 14 that are no longer with us. There are certainly plenty of Grandchildren and Great grandchildren that can fill in. I think it'd be sensational! What do you say?

Good shot of Jock Mitchell at the beginning of the clip. Very nostalgic indeed. Ta for posting to KZbin.

Now I've had the time of my life No, I never felt like this before Yes, I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you 'Cause I've had the time of my life And I owe it all to you I've been waiting for so long Now I've finally found someone to stand by me We saw the writing on the wall As we felt this magical fantasy Now with passion in our eyes There's no way we could disguise it secretly So we take each other's hand 'Cause we seem to understand the urgency Just remember You're the one thing I can't get enough of So I'll tell you something This could be love because I've had the time of my life No, I never felt like this before Yes, I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you Hey, baby! With my body and soul I want you more than you'll ever know So we'll just let it go Don't be afraid to lose control, no Yes, I know what's on your mind When you say, "Stay with me tonight." (stay with me) And remember You're the one thing I can't get enough of So I'll tell you something This could be love because I've had the time of my life No, I never felt like this before Yes, I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you 'Cause I had the time of my life And I've searched through every open door Till I found the truth And I owe it all to you Now I've had the time of my life No, I never felt like this before (Never felt this way) Yes, I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you I've had the time of my life No, I never felt this way before (Never felt this way) Yes, I swear it's the truth (It's the truth) And I owe it all to you 'Cause I had the time of my life (The time of my life) And I've searched through every open door Till I found the truth And I owe it all to you

Fantastic,i loved watching.

Thanks! Happy to hear it! And the shots were taken in such different lighting situations that they are all really varied.

Wonderful pics, Robin--love 'em. You must've had to shoot pretty wide open to get that nice shallow depth of focus; do you remember what you used for shutter speed and "ASA"?

What a wonderful tribute to your dad!!!

LOVE, LOVE LOVE this video! Happy Mother's Day!

Testing

Bill will be your Dad then. I seem to recall a brief visit by a lady last year, that must have been you.

Then you may have met me. I was in briefly, as the meeting was ending, one day last July. My Dad you would know. He had the flat on St.Cuthbert, across the street, for the entire month of July and joined the group often while on holiday.

Aye RobinsNest818. The group are known as the sweety wives! Robert is the leader. He is away at the present time, back next week.

You are most welcome! The response has been much greater than I'd expected so yes, I will be posting more. It takes me awhile, though, so I apologize in advance if there is much of a wait!

So if you see Robert most days, let me guess...... 10:00 AM coffee?

Thanks, kingcw, for filling in a name I did not know!

RobinsNest818, what a great film thank you for sharing it I am a native of Kirkcudbright,and it was a treat to watch all the faces from the past. I hope you have some moreto show.

Mr Bowick, Burgh Surveyor and then harbourmaster , supervising the berthing of the tanker Onward Progress. At 9.05 is a youthful John King with his lobster pots. Great stuff.

Hello RobinsNest818. Eas talking to Dick at his boat a few days ago and he told me he was the photographer. A classic bit of local people most of whom I knew or indeed, still know. Meet up with Robert most days during the week.

Ohhhhh....sorry. It's on the Isle. Where in Kirkcudbright do you live? I love the town. It's really so beautiful! Have you lived there long?

Thanks! The house is still standing and is located in Kirkcudbright, Scotland.

Thanks and yes, it was taken in 1964.

Great movie! Any idea on what year it was?

Great video. Loved seeing my Granny and Grandpa. Thanks.

LOVE IT!! This is amazing! It reminds me of the many wonderful visits I've had to Kirkcudbright!

OMG!!! Love it!
