There was a family named Quiqley who stayed in Tantallon Drive Townhead in the 50's -70's. they would have moved there from the old buildings in either Whifflet or Dundyvan areas. I only remember the name of one of the daughters - her name was Maureen. and she was the youngest of the family. She had a t least one brother and another sister.
