Apparently that's still a (partially) working quarry. An old boss of mine, a lawyer, worked in Newton Stewart in the 1960s (he was and is heavily involved in Scottish traditional music, and has fiddled at the Macmillan Hall several times) - and still has connections there. John

Talking of cars and visiting places, that reminds me ... hopefully soon I'll be visiting Newton Stewart, childhood home of Kingboy, where his Dad used to preach, and where "The Man" album was recorded in the Macmillan Hall in 1986 (I also seem to remember the bagpipes in "America No More" were recorded there too).

I was thinking of taking some photos, especially in I can find the Hall. Would people be interested?

John

what about the cave he mentions in "45" ???
