Welcome

and welcome visitors and ex-Wemyssers alike to the "Friends From The Wemyss" web site. The seed was sown for the site following many expatriate email exchanges discussing a Wemyss Reunion Day in 2004.

Due to the industry downturn in the late 1960's the population of the Wemyss villages has dropped dramatically and there are probably more Wemyssers living around the world than in their birth place. However we all make choices in life whether it be for health, wealth or otherwise but we should never deny the place we all have in our heart.

Our aim here is to provide a meeting place for anyone, anywhere in the world, with any connection, past or present, to the Wemyss - in other words, a global "village hall".

Please sign the Guestbook and join in the forums (the Guestbook is free but there is a subscription of less than 4p per day for the forum participation) to find an old friend, relative, mining mate, say hello or discuss a Wemyss or world related issue. It's a lot of fun as well as being informative!

We believe the site to be user friendly, so take your time and enjoy the experience. We are open minded about improvements to the site too and there is a feedback link in the "Contact Us" section - your comments and suggestions will be welcome.
