European bureaucrats have cut a Dunfermline hairdressing service providing wigs to cancer sufferers :-|

Sheds Hairdressing in Guildhall Street, which makes personalised hairpieces for NHS patients with hair loss, has been told it does not fit the criteria to provide the service because the salon is up a flight of stairs and therefore not disabled-friendly.

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
