Childrens TV drama
Can anyone else remember the Black and White childrens TV drama that was filmed in Burnmouth? Remember watching it several times in the 1970s. Anyone remember the name of it and some of the local 'stars' who appeared in the background shots?

Martha Skeldon Wightman
I wa as browsing the internet as usual as part of my family tree research and came across a message on this sight from a George and Fay Crawford which mention a grandmother Marhta Skeldon Wightman. This lady was my step great grandmother and I would love to get in touch with the Crawfords
Can you please pass this message on or perhaps they will see my plea themselves. Here's hoping!!

Lads, maybe it's a personal thing, but I don't think having "Dog Fouling" as a section of the left-hand nav is necessarily portraying the village in the best possible light.

Old stone house misssing roof
My daughter and I were traveling from Berwick-upon-Tweed To Dunbar on the National Express last week and saw a remarkable old house that was on a platteau half way down a cliff to the sea. It had all four walls but was missing the roof. The structure sat on a plateau with a sheer drop down to the sea. I was hoping someone could tell me about an old stone building whose roof had caved in. How does one get to it? What is it's address. Who owns it? What was it used for?
Basically I would love to know its story. Thanks for thelp.

regarding old stonehouse as an ex burnmouth resident all i know of it is it is an old fishermans cottage and has been derelict as long as i can remember i used to play there when i was a wee laddy only way i can remember to get to there is walking along the cliff tops from burnmouth or berwick or via boat hope this gives you a small insight into the past of the old stonehouse brian + jane west midlands

Is there a sandy beach at the foot of the cliff where this ruin stands with skeers of rock on either side?
If so I too played there as a child. When I was young I was told that the house burned down in the 1940s; allegedly a tramp had been sleeping in it and may have been careless with a match.I seem to remember that it was called Lumburn.It may have been possible to gain access from the Berwick road as well as along the cliffs.Can anyone verify any of this?

As I remember you can also access it from the A1 although you have to cross the railway via a gate which connected the fields on either side of the track.As well as the winch there are also a couple of fishermans stores which were cut into the sheer rockface with bricked frontage. When I was younger I always wondered how much it would have cost to repair and move in, peaceful with a cracking view of the sea, except a pain when you had to walk for a newspaper! LOL
