Scott Davies
email: scottandluce@btinternet.com
My name is Scott Davies and I used to live in Galbraith Drive from 1967-1988, oh my God that is YEARS ago!!!!!!
I started my education at Milngavie Primary School (1967-73) and did the usual move up to Douglas Academy in 1973.
In 1988, having studied at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama studying Opera, I moved to the 'Big Smoke' London where I have been living ever since, almost 20 years. I worked in Musical theatres in the West End, London, reaching the giddy heights of playing the part of the Phantom in 'The Phantom of The Opera' for four very long years! I now tour all over the world singing and have a great time.
I have been married for just about 10 years to Lucy and we have three fab boys called Jack (6), Will (4), and Adam (2) and two dogs Holly and Gemma. I live in a place just outside London in Kent called Chislehurst.
Even though the weather is kinder down here I still miss those frosty nights and mornings in Milngavie and dream, one day, of returning to my roots which I have terrible pangs of nostalgia every so often. If anyone remembers me and wants to contact me my email is scottandLuce@btinternet.com. Great place to grow up in and feel very privileged to have lived there.
  Best wishes to all you Milngavie folk.

email: Neil.Hunter@t-online.de
I have been living in Wetter in North Rhein Westphalia, Germany since 1986. I was born in Milngavie in 1963 and went to Milngavie Primary School and Douglas Academy.

After my contract finished in 1990 I returned to Milngavie but unfortunately Barr & Stroud were in the process of shedding 60% of the work force so I decided to return to Germany and take my chances. I worked for 4 years in a small engineering firm designing control systems for high speed packaging machines. I have spent the last 6 years in the IT branch working as a systems programmer in a large computing centre. I would be delighted to hear from any of my old classmates.
Incidentally if anyone knows Alison Hartley (we were in the same class) she is also living here in Germany in Neuss near Düsseldorf, as we meet on a regular basis I can pass on any information.

I lived in Milngavie with my family at 42 Carbeth Road between 1973 -1975 home of my Grandparents, Bena & Ian Downie. I attended Clober Primary and Douglas Academy. We had come from New Zealand where we grew up and have returned there. I remember classmates.....Foxy, Leeanne Phillips, Lynn Henderson, Willie Young, Willy Woolfries, David (Canadian), The twins Douglas & Ian, Carolyn Lean, Alistair (played the accordian)... I was back just recently to nurse my Grandfather, John Nicol Downie (Ian) and would be interested to hear from anyone.

I lived with my parents in Milngavie from November 1980 - August 1991, I went to Milngavie primary school from 1984-1991, unfortunately my parents split up and my mum (Jean Sutherland), my sister (Marion Sutherland) and I moved to Glenrothes, Fife. We used to stay in Dougalston Gardens South and I am looking for some of my old schoolfriends. I can remember some names, Heather Strang, Lynne Nisbet and Gary Paton. If there is anyone out there that remembers me or knows how I can contact Heather, Lynne, Gary or anyone else from the years at Milngavie (we will all be around 22-23 years of age), please contact me. Thank you.

Milngavie Primary 1957-65
Bearsden Academy 1965-70
I now live in Bermuda and have done since 1981. I lived in Clober Road until 1964 and then moved to Ferguson Avenue, where my parents still live. My brother Alister and I both played for the Wanderers throughout the 70's and I still recall those trips to Bauge - what a time we had. I get back every couple of years and see my old buddies - Jim Nicol, Blair Thompson, Bobby Pollock, et al. Sadly though "yolky" MacGregor and Wullie Shearer are no longer with us - I miss you both! I will be home this August [2001] so if anyone out there remembers me and fancies a few pints you can contact me at my parents house.

I was born in Station Rd Milngavie in 1951. The third eldest in the family of 9. YES 9, that makes it 11 with mum and dad. Does anyone want to know all the names? Mum was also born in Milngavie with the surname of Fraser. Dad was an Englishman from Manchester. Well he lasted 25 years and then hightailed it back to his homeland with half the tribe in tow. Dad's name was Whitney. I bet that will get a few responses cos everyone knew the Whitney's in the 60's. I have lived in Western Australia for the past 28 years.
Want to know anymore then e-mail me.
