The story begins with the journey of the Nicholson family back to Kingskettle after seven years away from Scotland. A Minister, his wife and seven children moving back to Scotland to take over at the Chalmers Street U.F. Church and take up residence at its manse at 136 Grieve St. in Dunfermline. These are the memories of one of those children beginning in 1905 and ending in 1951. The memoir is not only a fascinating record of life in a manse and that of a Ministers family but also a social record of a childhood and a changing society. The appendix includes two poems written by the eldest brother John Beveridge Nicholson (journalist with John Leng & Co., Dundee), the poems were composed in the trenches during the first world war.
