John was born in Denholm village just a few miles east of Hawick. John joined the army and became an officer in the KSOB later qualifying as a Chartered Accountant and living and working in the Borders. This short recording was made to illustrate the accent of the Denholm area where John grew up. Rural accents are very localised varying from town to town and even village to village. I intend to put up a transcription here in due course.
