Now there's a blast from the past I hear the Scottish fanciers say.

One of my finest memories as a young fancier was in the early 80's when my Dad took me to visit the once very successful partnerships. Their family of Cattrysse pigeons were out of this world, some of the finest pigeons we've ever seen or handled, like peas in a pod. Needless to say my Dad invested in some for me, which went on to produce some very good birds that flew well over 300 miles, especially when the going got tough.

I'd be interested to hear from any fanciers who are still flying these bloodlines.

Regards,

Colin.

She was certainly a quality pigeon and she looked the part, very typical of the family.

I knew of one fancier a few years ago still had some originals, that was Charlie Heggie of Fife.
