peebles for pleasure: My mistake!

Welcome!

This blog is to introduce you to my town - Peebles, in the Scottish Borders - just one photo at a time, with perhaps a little description and maybe some history thrown in. I hope you will find it interesting. The title comes from a historical comment made by someone who preferred Peebles to the great and famous cities. I know how they felt. It's always a pleasure to return here however long you've been away.

If you want to make a comment, ask me a question, or merely just want to say "hello, I've dropped in", you can do that by using the comment section below each entry. (Just click on the word COMMENT and follow instructions. ) I'd love to know what you think of what you see of my town.

I don't have an expensive elaborate camera so the photo quality may not be brilliant, but I'd like to think my pics will please you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks to Mary H for the lovely designs I used for my background, and thanks too to all of you who have chosen to support my blog by becoming "followers".

My mistake!

Andrew has informed me that the house on the "Dilkusha again" post, isn't the Lodge, and he should know because the Lodge was where he lived before emigrating! I got it wrong! So, hoping this view will make up for it for now. It was taken on the same walk as the Dilkusha pictures! I'll have to go and have another look for Andrew's old house.

This is the view to the left of Dilkusha, up Springhill Road. I know the house facing us on the right is the Coach House, and realise now that it must have originally been the Coach House and stables belonging to Dilkusha. If you have read Andrew's comment you will see he says the original entrance was hereabouts.

The coach house and stable block is now divided into three flats/apartments, two smaller ones on the ground floor and one taking up the whole of the upper floor, its access being by a flight of steps to the garden behind.

Before posting this, I just had to go investigating, so Andrew, here, just for you is your old home, maybe somewhat changed from when you knew it!
