Growing up in Stenhouse
meant learning fast, laughing often and finding adventure almost
everywhere.
From football in the parks and skating at Murrayfield to skateboarding,
skiing, school days, family life, music, fashion, early technology and
the changing streets of Edinburgh, STENHOUSE captures a childhood shaped
by close friendships, freedom and the unforgettable characters who made
the area what it was.
Bill Rectangle looks back on the funny, chaotic and sometimes dangerous
moments that defined his early years. There are bikes, broken bones,
gang fights, ski trips, skateparks, Nintendo dreams, local legends,
family struggles and the small acts of kindness that stayed with him
long after childhood ended.
Honest, nostalgic and full of humour, this memoir is not only about one
boy growing up. It is about a place, a generation and a time when
children spent their lives outdoors, friendships were fiercely loyal and
every street seemed to hold another story.
Rough, warm, wild and deeply personal, STENHOUSE is a tribute to the
family, friends, music, football, ice skating, skateboarding, skiing and
memories that helped shape the person Bill became.
