Alan Leonard was my uncle and was married to Elsie Beattie from Aberdeen. When I came across the site I was trying to find my cousin also Alan Leonard . I think he moved to Manchester in the 1970s or 80s. Love the picture.

Lovely to see photo of my uncle Alan Leonard. Happy memories of him and my auntie Elsie who lived in Shady Nook. Next door to a lovely neighbour Agnes Work in Meadval who we stayed with on one of our trips. My Grannie Elizabeth Beattie moved to live with Alan and Elsie in her later years and is buried in the Evie cemetery.
