Last week we left entrepreneur Frank Gourlay and wife Susan at the start of their joint venture to create a log chalet holiday village and horse riding centre at Barend in Sandyhills.
Previous to that, Frank, now 80, had owned fashion boutiques in Dumfries and Ayr in the Swinging Sixties – and set up a Scotland-wide toy distribution company.
Brought up at the Glaisters farm between Corsock and Moniaive, Frank and Northumberland girl Susan married in her home village of Longframlington in 1971.
