The coverage we received following visits to Craigtoun by journalists from the Courier and STV News in August generated quite a bit of interest and inspired many former visitors to the park to take a trip down memory lane as they dug out old photographs and cine film to send to us. A selection of these have inspired a follow up article which is available to view at Online Courier and has also appeared in print this week in the Courier and Evening Telegraph.
We are keen to gather more old photographs and cine film, and the memories that go with them, to strengthen our case as we campaign for funding to renovate the Dutch Village so, once again, we are appealing for any material that you might have to add to our archive. Images of the inside of the Dutch Village would be of particular interest as these seem to be incredibly rare. Please contact us by e-mail in the first instance to: enquiries@friendsofcraigtoun.org.uk
Students now run the Craigtoun Cafe on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
