Can we help Linsey Johnstone please?

"Hi, not sure if you can help me but thought I’d ask 😁 I visited Banff today to look for the house my father was born in but didn’t find it as we were on the wrong street. He was born and brought up at 45 Boyndie Street but I missed the West part of the address from my grannies death certificate so couldn’t find it and assumed it had been demolished 🙄. I would love to know if the house is still there and if it is still a house or not. I have tried to find pictures but without success. My grannie was Annie Gray and my dad was William Gray and story goes that when he achieved his pilot with the RAF he used to fly over the house for her. This would have been in the 1940’s. No worries if you are unable to help🙏"

Some faces of the 1972 Banff Pageant (albeit a bit blurry as they are video stills)........reminds me of Bodies window on Castle Street that had Pageant photos displayed in the autumn of 1972. Used to be a bit of an event when Mr Bodie put up a new set of photos from local events there.......everyone trying to pick themselves and their pals etc out......were you ever in Bodies window?

.....there was me saying I'd never been to the Bridge of Marnoch, when I had actually crossed it many times going to and from Huntly. Thank you to Bob Munro for sharing these Marnoch postcard views to help us orientate to this beautiful part of Banffshire.

(The second is a view from the bridge with Kinnairdy Castle in distance).

Seems that Banff's annual 'nostalgia fest' went well on Saturday. I'm seeing comments that it gets better every year! So, who is the favourite for headline act next year then?
