Craigmillar Adventure Playground

THE VENCHIE MEMORIES


Craigmillar future, Craigmillar past
whatever the year we have all had a blast
Down at the venchie as children we'd play
Years have gone by and it's still that way
Remember the pulley Dangerous but fun
God it was sair if ye fell on yur bum

Old wooden Barrels and swinging on tyers
climbing up ropes and sliding down wires
In the 70s we'd queue for the Disco woopee
it didn't cost much it was just 20p


Games like wink Murder,Splat and Space Gap
Then sit down at four for an afternoon snack
Now 50 years on and it's still going strong
and now our bairns play at the venchie
Things might have changed but one thing remains
It will always be known as 'The Venchie'
