My favourite memories of growing up in Denny were the ribboned cart horses on Gala Day; fresh cakes from the co-op bakery; chips from Donaldson's,  guddling in the Toll burn, playing football in Anderson park, visits to wee Ben the barber, going in to Mathie's toy shop, my first ever pint in the Pines, the Friday disco in the British Legion, long days in the Don-R-In, Petale's ice cream, building rafts on the Carron at Castle Terrace, the Glen on hot sunny summer days, sliding down the Gala park on cardboard and the Saturday matinee at the Deluxe. I could go on. What a place to grow up!!!!
