A classmate once said they could remember being born 
Neither would I. It must be quite a traumatic event.
My earliest memory is of sitting in my pram, GNAWING on my mother's pink nylon comb (I was probably teething!). For years I couldn't look at that comb without getting a strange taste in my mouth!
I have several memories of getting the train to Helensburgh or Craigendorran to get the paddle steamer to Blairmore where my maternal grandparents lived and I have a good few memories of them and the house and of various things that happened there, such as the time a flock of sheep getting into the garden and my mum shooing them out again. Or me and my big sister climbing up the spiral stairway and into the tower room - which you entered via a trapdoor in the floor.
Then there was the time when we went into the back garden and helped Gran collect brambles.
There are several more memories of Blairmore, but....my grandfather died on my third birthday and my gran sold the house, so all my memories of there must have been formed while I was only 1 and/or 2 years old!
Back then there were regular paddle steamers on the Clyde and there were various places at which they called: Craigendorran, Helensburgh, Gourock, Greenock, Blairmore, Dunoon, Inellan.
I remember my childhood being the best of times
Care free and filled with fun times
My first memory was when I was about 3 or 4 and seeing my brother walking home in the snow from the comfort of our sitting room.
Baz. I think your post in the 'Protect and Survive' thread was meant for this thread!

My earliest memory is of me, with my nana at Glasgow Central Station and there were steam trains. My mum reckons I was 2/3yrs old. There are no photographs of it so it's definitely a memory.

Yes....people were far more trusting ...and perhaps more trustworthy ...in those days

I have early memory of Helensburgh but perhaps aged 4/5. They had public trampolines on the waterfront during the summer which I thought very exciting!
We holidayed in Clydebank (my parentsâ hometown) and would drive up to Rosneath to visit family friends â very exciting; I got to experience trampolining and I got to see nuclear submarines on the Gare Loch and I can still vividly picture both!
I think I may have mentioned that I come from Clydebank too. My Dad's Aunts Lived in Helensburgh (their front room looked out over the beach) and my mum's uncles and an aunt lived in Dunoon and Inellan.
