Story goes that in the 1600s, a load of Dutch persecuted minorities hired a ship to take them to America. The Captain sailed the ship around the North Sea for a couple of weeks then dumped them all in Buckhaven saying "Welcome to the New World". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old man's home village up the road from Buckhind (where he went to school) was East Wemyss. Wemyss being once of those strangely spelled places someone might not necessarily know how to pronounce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the tyres in good condition ? Is free not good enough ? Certainly not getting it. Putting any kind of kids stuff free on Gumtree is a minefield. All kinds of zoomers happy to waste your time on age suitability etc. Plus a much higher rate of folk who message then don’t follow up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
