Tommy Curran was my cousin. I have written a book about Addiewell and Stoneyburn in the 1920's and am looking for an iconic image for a front cover. Can anyone help?

John: Have you published your book and if so where can I buy it.  Is it about the people of Addiewell or the Shale Oil Industry?  I think we may be related.  My mother was May Cassidy (nee Foley) and her mother was Elizabeth "Lizzie" Foley (nee McKenna).  Lizzie died when my mother was only 3 but her parents were Patrick and Bridget McKenna who lived in the first house on the right in Livingston Street if you were entering the village coming up the hill.  Anne Cassidy Hamilton
