I seized the reins for his horse and gave him a twenty four hour leading the horse suspension, and warned him about cairt parking violations.🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when it became a high school as it was just known as a secondary school during my time there (1967-71). It was then the second biggest school in Edinburgh with over 2,000 pupils serving Piton, West Pilton, Royston, Granton, Easter Drylaw and Telford. Irwin Welsh and the ex MP Ron Brown were former pupils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister T Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 This has probably been posted before. The Gloria Swanson film came out in 1922. Now the Filling Station with the buildings to the left demolished to make way for the extension of the city chambers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irwin Welsh and the ex MP Ron Brown were former pupils. It was called the high school when I started in ‘79 so changed sometime in the ‘70s. Ron Brown lived up the road from us in Pilton and used to work in Parsons Peebles with my old man. I think I’m right in saying that’s where he had his accident that scarred his face and neck.
