Correct, up the wee hill, over the canal bridge then turn right into horne terrace. Don't know if it's still there but there used to be a wee sign saying Thorneil Village on the way into horne terrace, a portmanteau of Thistle, Horne and McNeil, the three streets that make it up.

I never was brave enough to ask but it was a sort of water based fruit drink that they hit with compressed air, it was the closest I could guess Kool Aid type drink.

No never had anything to do with it but knew the name well, seem to remember they had pretty good football teams. My only real connections to the area were Boroughmuir and I worked as a petrol bot at the garage in Viewforth Terrace. I used to carry any welding we needed done to Kenny Mcintosh's blacksmith shop in Horne Terrace, and there was a car body shop on the corner. I think it was something like Robertson and Gray, it was all sixty eight years ag so memries are becoming a wee bit foggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William H. Bonney Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Anybody got any pictures from inside the old tartan club on Dundee st. I used to play 5's there and on the odd occasion the hearts team would be after us training. Used to go up into the gantry and watch them train.
