The Beginnings of Drumoig
The creation of the Golf Course and the Housing development has been documented in a fascinating collection of press cuttings from the time, kindly made available by Drumoig's first resident, Myra Milne. You can view the collection here - The Beginnings of Drumoig
Prior to the start of construction of the Golf Course at Drumoig, the University of Edinburgh conducted excavations on part of the proposed site to assist in their research into the prehistoric and medieval landscape of North-East Fife. The report of the findings can be found in the Tayside and Fife Archeological Journal tafaj-vol-3-5-exacavations-at-craigie-hill-freeman-c.pdf

The postcard was originally published in the Courier and Advertiser on Friday, August 16, 2019 with the following commentary:
A fascinating postcard from Jim Howie of Broughty Ferry, who says “Comerton Home
near Newport was opened in 1893 as a convalescent home for children from
Dundee. Here they are posed in their Sunday best with tennis rackets and one
lucky lad on a magnificent rocking horse. The card was mailed in 1904.”
