nice to read your letter enquiring about the place. 

i worked there in the late 60's at the Coylumbridge Hotel.
my husband played in the resident band, and i worked in the coffee shop.

at that time Santa Claus land was just in the pipe-line.

did you know Alistair and Betty Stirling. he played the organ in the band.
and betty and i worked in the coffee shop.

we left ( a long story) then I went back in the early 70's

yes, i remember all those places you mention. never went to the ice rink,
as i couldn't skate. but what about those water fountains outside.
one of our staff poured washing liquid into the water. wow. that was something.

we passed through Aviemore from our holiday in Wester Ross, and i wanted to see
the place again. it was like a mini Blackpool and we never stopped.
want to remember it as it was all those years gone by. a lovely tidy little highland village.

write to me if you want to know more. don't know where to start.

good luck in your search.

 

yours Andrea Tallo.
