Welcome -- we have lots of photos on here - old and new - spend some nostalgia time browsing. There are a few expats who post frequently - one is Eric who is in Canada too.

Sacred heart is still going but its a new building now, the old one as you will remember has long gone, built the new one behind where the old one stood.
Church Kirk - long gone

Oh, and the cobbles on Victoria street have gone too :rolleyes: :D
