EVERY week in the Peeblesshire News we print a photograph from a bygone era to give readers an insight into the area's past.

This week's picture shows Tommy Patterson and Jim McGarry enjoying the fine summer weather of 1953 at the Dookits.

Readers are invited to share with us their own photographs and memories of Peebles from the past.

They can be sent by emailing editorial@peeblesshirenews.com Alternatively, hand them in to our newsroom at 72 High Street, Peebles, EH45 8SW.
