About the Thornliebank Time Travellers


The Thornliebank group has maintained an enthusiastic and loyal turnout - almost 100% every week. After being shown the possibilities of the Craigmillar Time Lines website, the group members were keen to attempt something similar themselves, contributing photographs and working through the recording summaries to establish themes and content. These web pages are the result of that work. They are currently videoconferencing with the Alness group. There is no doubt that they wish to carry their enthusiasm further.
