Dumfriesshire / Re: Greenbrae Loaning Dumfries

You are welcome.
It would be some co-incidence if it was Parkhead which as far as I know was the main farm at the Stoop though it was a small holding when my great grandparents lived there in the 1920s. It was sold on in the 70s or 80s. I think they had goats and pigs. I have some old pics from then too. I'm local and have a friend who lives at Ladypark Farm (opposite and up the road a bit). If there is anything I can do locally - I'm a member of the Family History Centre, please let me now. I have no problem tramping around the area or looking up things here in Dumfries if it is any help.
My folks were at Burntfirs before that on the Locharmoss and my grandmother and all her sisters (6 of them as one died at 3 years) went to Noblehill school. Someone here mentioned the old men's hut in Noblehill Park. I was involved in the renovations that changed it to an after school group a couple of years ago. It is still going strong I'm happy to say.
Good luck.
