I’ve just want to announce the sad passing of an retired lorry driver Mr Davy Ritchie ex employee of Kinneil Transport of Edinburgh and J B McBean of Kirknewton Mid Lothian this gentleman along with my Dad taught me a lot about road transport he’ll be sadly missed RIP Big Davy
It must be almost thirty years since i last had a pint with davy, in the Queen Victoria pub in Auchendinny. He used to deliver loads from the paper mill in the village there , he would set off on a weekend, with his first drop being around the Beccles,or Bungy region’s of suffolk. Davy was as you say a real gent and I am sure will be sadly missed by all who knew him RIP Davy.
A Scot Lost in the Valley’s.

My dad was a Shunter for Kinneils in the early 70s he was based in Nottingham.One week he was shunting and following week he was tramping and whenever Davy was heading south he always stayed at our house and take us out for a ride in his lorry even when he left and joined McBeans he’d still visit happy times I saw him last year he was 88 I’m going to his funeral it’s next Monday
