There has been a castle here since at least the 1100s and probably much earlier. The first written record is from 1110, when king Alexander I dedicated a chapel at the castle.	Cat	Tuesday 23rd of September 2014 07:21:54 AM
Where Tesco is now sited (in Wallace Street) used to be in the 50/60s Fergusons Coal Merchant Yard.Next door to them was the Rossleigh Garage that sold /repaired Rootes Group(Standard, Triumph,Hillman,Singer,Sunbeam) and Jaguar vehicles. Further up the road was the cattle market.	Chris	Wednesday 27th of June 2012 12:25:22 PM
