Kelso is where my great uncle Kenneth McCracken and his wife Marjory lived.
They were both doctors, though Marjory didn’t practise as she married (of course). Their house was filled with prints and paintings, like an art gallery.
If you borrowed a book, you would receive a telegram after a week saying it was needed back at once!
Great eccentrics, lovely memories.
