Andrew received a service award for raising horss for Queen Elizabeth II in 1972. I have a photo of the agricultural award that was presented to Andrew. We visited this farm on our first visit to Scotland in 1982; Andrew was deceased then but we did meet his wife Mary and son Charlie who were still living and working on the farm. Newspaper article: 1952 Train Hits Tractor at level crossing near Milnathort - 3 people hurt and 1 girl killed Newspaper article states a dreadful accident that happened across the road from Gospetry Farm, where Andrew Wilkie was grieve. Mr Douglas B Clark was the owner of Gospetry farms at the time. Andrew, age 56, suffered a dislocated shoulder and other injuries, is detained in Bridge of Earn Hospital The driver, James Baldie, 23, managed to jump clear as did Adam Todd and his two sons Alex & Joseph, all of Gospetry. Cottages. Baldie's sister and the grieve were still in the trailer when the train engine hit it. It was a terrible impact. The tractor and trailer were mangled wrecks. A wheel was thrown 100 yards across a field. Normally the train crosses this area at noon, so the people were not expecting the train to arrive agter 1 pm. It is stated they didn't hear it coming. According to a newspaper article written in 1988, Charlie Wilkie comments "My Father had been a prisoner of war after being wounded in the Great War - I still have his cap badge, postcards he sent while on service and many other momentos and I too wanted to serve my country .. But the authorities decided that I could contribute more by working the land."
