".......white
blinds fully down in a Glesca windae was a sign that someone had gone to
meet their maker. Me and my
pals
would, on seeing white blinds, knock the door to pay our "last
respects" each with our fingers crossed that the coffin lid would not
yet be in place. (I know, I know, terrible bad taste, but we were kids
brought up on X films at The Geggie in Kirkpatrick Street)"

Extract from guestbook, Marian
Harrison, Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA, Feb.2003
"I was very interested to come across this site. My
father lived on either Kilpatrick Street, or Kirkpatrick Street as a child. He ran away from home when he was
fourteen years old. His father's name was James and his mother's name was
Isobel. He had a bout seven siblings. He had a sister Marian for whom I
was named. I have no other information and would be interested if anyone
knows anything about my family in Scotland. (E-Mail:
