Lochwinnochsaintee Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) I too was struck by this story, I knew nothing about it until I saw that photo. From what I’ve read I would hope that were this to happen today, the girl would be treated with more respect and compassion than she seemed to be shown at the time. Looking forward to the book popping through my letterbox. I’d also never heard of Cuddies strip before although I’ve been up Buckie braes a few times.

sleepless Posted July 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 yes, totally agree. It was her treatment that really got me interested in writing it. Cuddies Strip is still there and you can walk it today. Go through the tunnel beneath the motorway and you're on it. I've seen the police photos of the crime scene, and it doesn't look any different now than it did then. Lochwinnochsaintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
