Can any one give me any information on the location of Gallowden Farm and farmhouse. I remember passing the farmhouse in the early 1960's and it was in a very dilapidated state at that time. |

I think it was the Ramage family that had that in the 60's and it was located just about where the Westway crosses Gallowden Road. Mayde it was a dairy farm.
Jock Milne would know, he is a cousin.

I believe the old farm house is still there at 5 Gallowden Road.

Nope, the farm way at least halfway between that house at #5 and the cemetery Western gates, on the East side of Gallowden Road.

I see, so this is just an old stone house that was once out in the country. I wonder if it had anything to do with the old laundry up the road?

David Chapel is listed at Gallowden Farm in the 1951-52 Arbroath Yearbook and Thomas Ramage is listed at Emislaw Farm. So I think the David Chapel lived there after the Ramage family. |

Would that have been the farm that had peacocks strolling around the house yard? I remember when I was real young my parents would take me for Sunday evening walks and we would see them displaying and stalking around. |

Back when I was a wee boy aged 6 I was invited to a Birthday party at Gallowden Farm , Gallowden road and there were farm out buildings there then but I see the farm house is the only bit standing . The redstone built building was the farmhouse owned by David & Mrs Chapel and Mr D Chapel was a lawyer in his family business ( D & W Chapel , Market Place ) in Arbroath which is now the newish Arbroath Herald offices. Mary Chapel was in my class at school and she I recall became a nurse and married a Fleet Air Arm from HMS Condor but sadly she died early in life .
The 1922 East Forfarshire Directory and Arbroath Year Book for 1922 shows
GALLOWDEN FARM listed in the ARBROATH Burgh lists of farms and not listed in the County area farms and then owned or farmed by Donaldson Gray .
The Arbroath year book for 1955-1956 shows David Chapel at the address of Gallowden Farm with even a phone number of arbroath 3160

Slightly off-topic, but my parents got a phone in Arbroath about 20 years later and the number was approximately +3500 up on than one.
They still have the same number, but extended with all the new-fangled STD codes and other various boltings-on that have gone on over the years.

That makes sense, sorry Derek, the buildings I pointed out were indeed the Ramages' farm on Gallowden Road, but perhaps it was not Gallowden farm but Emislaw?

My great grandfather, Peter Smith was the farmer at Gallowden according to the 1901 cansus. Emislaw Farm is a strange one, I have never hear of it. |

So was it Emislaw or Newbigging farm house that was once in the park across the road from the entrance to Monymusk Road?

There was a farm in that area called East Muirlands Farm, up near the cemetery - owned by the Laing family. My uncle Sye worked there in the 40's. One of his jobs was to deliver the milk in churns to customers via horse and cart. My dad said that the horse used to stop of it's own accord outside the Lochlands Bar on a Friday night when Sye was doing his rounds collecting in the money!! More than a grain of truth in that. |

I think there were several children - Laura was in my class in the High School primary, and I think it was Mary who was one class below, even though she was almost two years younger. I seem to remember there was another sister. In primary, Laura was great friends with Elsie Cuthil (Cuthill?), whose twin sisters were one or two years ahead Elsie was also a twin at birth, but her twin died early, I think. The Cuthils lived on Keptie Road near he old laundry that once existed at the junction with Gallowden Road. |

I reckon a book about the old farms that have been engulfed in the expansion of the town since WW2 would make good reading.
