DICKIE, Menstrie
« on: Wednesday 15 April 09 18:18 UTC (UK) »
I am researching the DICKIE families that lived in Menstrie from at least 1808 until 1951. Various generations owned the public house now known as the Holly Tree from the mid 1800's until 1914.

Would really like to make contact with anyone who has a connection. Or can point me in the direction of any local hisory sources or any period photographs of Menstrie.

Oh good grief, those pictures of Menstrie took me back  Cry

My mothers family lived there for years and I remember a great aunt taking me to the Holly Tree Inn for lunch when I was about 8 or 9.
