I went on to gain further qulifications,to marry and have children and continue in a long career in nursing. Killearn was the best of all, I think because of the close sense of community which prevailed there helped by the relative isolation. The hospital site is a mess now,with trees growing out of the wards,and a couple of herds of evileyed belligerent goats roaming around,the billies looking for a fight and making it impossible to get one's bearings.It occurred to me that at almost 80 I could not climb out of the Home windows now, even if I could find it in the current moonscape. I should be very interested if anyone out there has any knowledge of supernatural incidents in ward one. I experienced this on night duty on this ward and would be keen to learn of other experiences. This manifestation is still going on and is well known to tocal people. I trained in orthopaedics at Killearn qualifying with honours in 1957 thanks to our

I am particularly interested in a James McKerracher who was born about 1780. Many Thanks Can you tell me if there is any information available about inkeepers in Balfron or Kippen in the early 1800s?

Thanks for the call today Gabrielle, I'm looking forward to catching up with you now Elaine. Gabrielle will give you my email address. Of course I remember your wedding, I remember your husband is called Ian Ritchie (hope I am right) would love to see some of the pictures, have you still got any. I thought you had went to Australia, I was surprised when Gabrielle said you went to Canada. In my head Killearn was the best time of my life. Did not always think so at the time. ha ha But it sure is a great time to look back on. We had some laughs along the way. Wouldn't it be great if we were able to make contact with more people from our time in Killearn and have a reunion. I'd love that. Hello Gabriell & Elaine
