Jim, your reply conjures up all sorts of memories. We had a long association with Keith through my father marrying into the Murray family who lived at 1 Moss street, alas it is no more! My grandfather Murray ran a bakers shop/general store in Keith for many years and another relative once owned the Royal (pub??). However you are altogether a different generation. We left Keith (as Petries!!) to return to Forres, I was 9 and this was in 1946!! We continued to visit my grandmother, aunts and Uncles and my younger brother was born in Keith in 1946. He is some 9 years younger than me. Visits to the falls of Tarnash figure strongly in my memory as does swimming in the river. I attended the Green school as my first educational establishment. You might have to ask around to see if anyone remembers the Murray family.
