Thx for this video. I lived in Craigshill for 18 years from 1967. Went to Almondbank and Craigshill High (both now gone). After 4 years of uni moved to London. I feel so sad that those days are long gone now as well as many of the people. I'm choking up here with many memories of the town in the 70s and 80s. It was a nice place to grow up and had a community spirit and a real civic pride. I miss it so much. Thanks Livi.

Wow 😮 see this just makes me think what it would be like there in what year is it there

[@BarryEuphorik]

Almondvale Centre has changed quite alot over the years. I remember alot of the old layout and stores such as John Menzies going right through the middle and CAC Cinema being where the bingo is now.

Is that Afzal's at 2:47? Think that was his name back in the 70s when I lived there, you could buy your morning rolls from a tray outside the shop and leave your money. I remember trying to get 2P's out the phone box with a lolly stick on the corner outside the shop. It would be just behind the tree in the after pic. The trek up Maree Walk to Riverside Primary, halcyon days. Been over 40 years since I left.
