Scottish Bus Rally

Did they have any of those buses with the long seats upstairs and the side corridor? Used to be great fun trying to get out at your stop.

Yes, there were a pair of them in the old Alexander Midland Bluebird colour scheme doing some of the runs to Dunfermline and Kelty.

The family later moved to Dunfermline, then Paisley and then emigrated to the US in the early 1800s.

My own ancestry research shows that three of my four grandparents were born and brought up in Paisley in families which had already been established in Paisley for several generations (with the fourth being born to an Irish family who had moved from Lurgan, Ireland to Renfrew, Scotland shortly before his birth). Many of my ancestors were weavers, including some who worked in the Paisley shawl industry, while others were carters around the Paisley area.
