John Glendinning McRobert
Bevin Boy
from:Canonbie
My Father Jack McRobert was a Bevin Boy who wanted to be a pilot. He studied Engineering at Falkirk Mining College and worked at Denny, Plean and Machrahanish Mine. He was a Shot-firer and was always involved in humorous events. On one occasion he put grease on a telephone ear piece and waited for the Ganger to lift the phone.
