Morag, I haven't heard of the ponds called the yellow man or the black baby, I have heard of The White Wife.morag wrote:len wrote:
Hi Len, there were 3 ponds there, we knew as the white wife, the yellow man and the black baby.. Gypsies often camped nearby. Just by the old St. John's school / church. We were warned within an inch of our lives not to go near the quarry..made it all the more alluring!
We knew the one nearest Saltcoats as The Wilsons.
