I just discovered this thread.  My 2x great aunt and her family were living at The Elms, 12 Walker Terrace in 1955.  The surname was Stewart.  I have no idea when they moved there or when they left but we have copies of two letters sent from that address in October 1955.

My family moved in 1955, thought it was earlier than October. My mum is still alive so she may know, will ask her at weekend

It is embossed headed paper so I suppose it is always possible they had already moved and were using up the paper. Presumably my relatives were the family who sold the house to yours so it would be interesting to hear what memories your mother might have of that time. I don’t suppose you have any photos of the front and back do you? We have photos of my dad as a young lad in gardens we don’t recognise.  Tillicoultry is mentioned in my grandfather’s journals.
