My mum's from Dunbar which is a small town about 30 miles south of Edinburgh. It's pretty much an Edinburgh dormitory town now but the main work used to be farming, fishing and the cement works, and it really was a proper small town. Mum hasn't lived there since the early 60s but two of her four sisters and their one brother never left (well, their brother is dead now, but you know what I mean). Yesterday I found a Lost Dunbar group on facebook and so far I've found old school photos of 2 of her sisters and one of their brother, plus an excellent one of my aunt's husband's brother-in-law looking young and hot, when I've only ever seen him as a short round balding man with a tache and Simon Bates glasses. And I've learned that he use to play guitar in a band called Nick & the Sinners with a man called Jimmy Bain who went on to play bass in Rainbow and Dio.
I spent hours looking at old photos on the page last night and was nowhere near all the way through them. Facebook has its problems but for things like that, it's great.
