Stirring tripe in an old bath must have tested your constitution to the limit though! She does sound like a wonderful woman. I am really grateful for this feedback, isn't the internet a wonderful thing! Best wishes Howard Hi Sheena, what a great first hand account.

I lived at Cromlix House for several years and knew Angie. In fact he gave me my first job working in the kennels stirring tripe in an old bath (for 50 pence, I think!). My mother worked in Cromlix House, eventually becoming the cook. When my father died Lady Aukland had part of the house converted to make a flat for my mother and her two children. (Because of this they discovered the dry rot before it had gone too far so we might have saved her a fortune.) I remember the spaniels you mention. The locals joked that Lady Aukland would put her animals before humans but she was very kind to my family. What a coincidence! I lived at Cromlix House for several years and knew Angie.
