OLD WEAVERS AND OTHER OLD PEOPLE OF DUNFERMLINE, 1900-1915 – A LIST FOR THE FAMILY HISTORIAN
This is a list of the names, addresses and ages of the old men and women who attended the ‘old weavers’ drive’ each July from 1900-1915. They are taken from reports in the local press, which sometimes included group photographs. The drives were originally just for old hand-loom weavers but from 1906 invitations were extended to ‘any respectable man of 60′ and from 1909 to women. There are some discrepancies in the lists due to incorrect reporting of ages and addresses and because several people shared the same name. For an account of the Weavers’ Drive see a recent article on the web-site of Dunfermline Historical Society.
1900: Visit toGlensherup Reservoir, the source of Dunfermline’s water supply.

Thomson notes that in the list there were ‘a few mistakes as to age. For example Andrew Meldrum Bothwell Place is set down as 67 years. He was given the same age a year ago. Some of the old weavers to whom I have talked have rather a hazy notion as to their ages and have given, I have no doubt, in the above list a somewhat hap-hazard statement’.
