Through deep snow

- Walking to School

Ruth Walker of Kemback has been in touch. “I wrote a poem about the snow of 1947. At that time I was a Primary One pupil at Brechin High School.

“Miss Simon was our teacher. The snow was horrendous and Miss Simon remarked how wise the other parents were to keep their children at home on such a day! We had to go all the way back home to our house – Maisondieu Manse in Airlie Street, I think it was.”
