Whinwell Orphanage
« on: Wednesday 20 August 08 14:21 BST (UK) »
Dear Reader

I have been trying to gather information on Whinwell Orphanage, in Stirling which my Mum resided between 1947-1956.

Are you able to help my search, any information would be much appreciated.

Oh, that's a disappointment..

Well, is there a local studies section at the Library in a biggish neary town to where  the Orphange was...? They might have something.

Thanks Charlotte.  I went to the Library Archive here in Stirling but due to data protection etc. the information they were allowed to show me ws very limited.
