Born in Dundee in 1947, two years after the end of the Second World War, Norman Elder Johnstone recalls the following remembrances:

We lived in a tenement flat overlooking Ann Street School in Linlathen, which I attended from the age of five years to the age of eleven, leaving in 1958. There were cobbled roads at the top of William Street where we lived.

I recall the buses in the winter when snow was on the ground and the drivers had to get out and put old sacks under the wheels for them to get a grip in the icy conditions. I can't imagine them doing it today.

So many memories I shall have to send in updates periodically when I have had time to chronicle them.

Norman Johnstone, 2002
