- We're looking forward to our Cordite Club this afternoon. This is a fortnightly, lunch time, club for local retirees. Last time they were treated to a Burns Lunch with haggis and an excellent talk about Robert Burns in the local area. This week we're having some Old Fashioned Fun. 🎲

- From what we have found James Auld seemed to have a rather turbulent time while working at H.M. Factory Gretna. 1️⃣First him and his pal Robert Wetherspoon were threatened near a local cemetery. ( For clarity this was by an entirely different Robert, accused of theft. No ghosts were involved. 👻)
