Ridiculously excited to get the latest Hawick Archaeological Society Transactions and find an illustrated article on the history of Wilton manses. My second Hawick childhood home is the latest Wilton manse - sold by us to them in 1991. My first Hawick childhood home was near an earlier Wilton manse. #Hawick #Scotland #ScottishBorders #ChurchOfScotland

Got me some art supplies in (the pencil case is full of a good range of grades of graphite pencils etc.). I used to love drawing as a teenager. Especially in O'Grade Art and Design, when being sent out into Wilton Lodge Park on our own to draw the landscape and wildlife was just the best thing ever!
