Hi Joy, well the local story is that Govan people have a saying that goes like this " Your not a Govanite unless you've been ducked in the Elder pond" Which is in the Elder Park in Govan. I was born in Plantation district Govan in a nursing home, but was raised in Mount Vernon on the other side of Glasgow, so that was my little joke for those that know the meaning, that I cannot really call my self a Govanite, just because I was born there! >From: Joy <beatsme@netins.net> >To: SCT-ARGYLL-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [ARGYLL] Plantation, Scotland >Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2002 17:24:47 -0500 > >Jimmy, >Hello ~ It sounds like there is a local story to tell there.
