They gassed me to take a tooth out when I was a toddler in the 70s, horrific experience.

Forrester High School.

Les McKeown,John Swinney and me.

Did a stretch from from about 1979 to 81 then discovered skiving.

Register in the morning,off over the sports fields at the back and register in the afternoon and off home.

Carrick House with wee Willie Warren and Eggo the history teacher as registrar.

Picture missing the wooden huts up the left side.

I officially left aged 15 but left with a passable grasp of the French language as Miss Laing was my teacher.

IFYKYK.

That is New Street off the Royal Mile!  I used to work in the Eastern Scottish depot down that hill. You can see the entrance to the garage down the hill there.
