Aye Jim I remember the Linnmill stories weel.
As small boys we had to guddle a troot for the well when a replacement was required. Guddling among a fine pair o paps would be a pleasure reserved for a later time in life but I am convinced that both the lassies and the trout enjoyed the experience.
Bye the bye was Cliff Handley the name of the writer who showed Burl Ives the bright lights of Glasgow in the immediate post war period and taught him songs such as the Bonny Wee Window and Carnwath Mull?
