Newtonhill & District Village Association

I used to live at Cobbleboards Farm. We went as far back as my great grand father, we walked around Cran Hill down to the shore up through the village to Cairnhill school. Miss Reid was our teacher as was headmaster Hastings. Our father used to deliver vegetables around Newtonhill on a Saturday with a pony and cart. We also had our meal ground by Eddie the miller by the viaduct. He also built a water wheel and we generated electricity for Cobbleboards - that was in the fortys. Also on the walk around Cran Hill we would dig up arr nuts and eat them you just have to recognise the leaf.
