John Wightman

“John Wightman was born in Leith, to solicitor Robert Johnson Wightman and Edith Laing. Shortly after he was joined by sister Edith Mary. John recalled pushing Edith Mary in her pram when German bombers flew low over Trinity, apparently with the factory at Crewe Toll as their intended target. He spent time during the war with his Auntie Mary at 25 High Street, North Berwick, above the ironmonger shop owned by his grandfather, John Wightman.”
