The catagory is not really news but I stumbled across the site and thought you might be able to assist me.I was born in Brechin in 1951,we lived in town for a bit then shifted to a place outside town called Friendly park,we lived there until I was nine and moved to Australia,I remember it well even though I was very young,my mother looked after a dairy farm and I think the owners name was Arnott barnes ,but im not really sure,but I was wondering if Friendly park still exsists and if it is still surrounded by farmland or has it been swallowed up by houses,thank you for your time and I hope someone can give me some info, Alan Low.

Hi Alan. I was work at the Brechin Advertiser and was wondering if you woould have old photos from the time you were in Brechin. We do a Back in the Day suppliment in November and would love to have any old Brechin pictures that you might have. Could you email me @ shona.beaton@jpress.co.uk

Have just looked up google maps and found that you can go into street view and have a look of the area aound there. It is still very much surrounded by farm land.

Thank you Shona,I took your advice and had a look on google earth,it still looks much as I remember it,I only have a couple of pics of when we lived in Brechin,so I will send them on to you,thank you for your help,Alan.
