My father Robin Climie was head of New Luce School from 1958 to 1961. Our family lived in the schoolhouse across the road from the school. I was very young at the time and only have the dimmest of memories of living in New Luce but I have visited the village many times in more recent years and always love seeing the place. The names I remember are the Forsters (Milton of Larg?) and the Hyslops (Knockiebae?). I remember a Mrs McGuire from the “forestry” houses just outside the village who used to babysit me and my sister and a Miss Love who lived in one of the cottages in the village. I also remember Rev Chambers who lived in the manse just up the road from our house. If anyone would like to contact me, please email me at n.luce49@googlemail.com. I’d love to correspond with anyone who remembers my father or our family or who has New Luce connections.
Best wishes,
Gillian Climie
I remember your father well – super teacher.
