Do we have a date for this Press article Baz? I know they were demolished in 1957.

I'm going back next week to library and may find out then, as these came from a folder that has to be looked up by librarian, and the date was not on them.

hi All
I lived at Craigemiller buildings from 1950 until everybody moved out.approx 1556-57
Craigmiller buildings was across Lamond's wyne from the Scope yes we called it the scope as well
I lived at #12 which was along the landing from the Henry's and the garitys. the garitys lived above the Cashmans. next door to them was Mr Darimpole, who had a girlfriend who lived in the Scope.
I think her name was Mrs Green. Mr and Mrs Cashman had i think 6 kids the two i played with were Johnny and Arthur. along from them was Mrs Kerr she had two kids along from her was Mr and Mrs Mc Kracken Next door to them was Martha Cashman a sister to Mr Cashman Her son name was Ronnie dundas another playmate. OH next door to the Garitys was Mr and Mrs Berry they had 4 kids.
