Glenrothes - A New Day Part 1

A film made in 1959 celebrating the new town that at the time was Glenrothes.

Was hoping to see my old house, or my gran's house. Pretty much everyone in my family was from some part in Fife. My mum's parents moved with her, and her brother and sister to Glenrothes in, I think, the late 70s, early 80s, and, me being born in 1993, we all lived there, until me and my mum moved in 96, my grandad died in 03, and my gran moved to Restalrig in 2006. Many many years. And as of 2012, only my paternal gran lives in Fife, everyone's moved to Edinburgh.

Better times when a woman knew her place caring for her family and looking after her man before it all went wrong.
