Hello and welcome to Stories of Scotland, where we are continuing the grandparents series.

Here we're learning about rural life in the 1940s and 50s in Scotland through Annie's

Granny and Papa. I'm Jenny. I'm Annie and this week we're

learning about the romantic or not so romantic union of my grandparents. Ah it's a heartwarming tale nonetheless

So this was a really lovely episode to make because my grandparents have been together for over 65 years. But as we'll see

with their story as parallels to a lot of people's personal love stories. Exactly. So let's

Highland fling ourselves into this one. So can you tell me how you met my granny?

Met her at dance.

Yeah?

Do you remember what you were wearing or what she was wearing?

I mind what you met with their granny was.

She had a blue frockone's taffita.

What they call taffita?

It's like silk, but it's no silk.

But it was at Thorn Hill?

I worked at Castle Douglas then.

That's about 30 miles of Thornhill.

But I used to go to the dance every Saturday night when I was home.

I'd be home at Thorn Hill at the weekend.

And I met your granny in the dance there.

And I was playing with a yo-yo.

And that's how we made.
