Thank you to Ian Thomson for sending me this photograph of Murrayburn School, Sighthill. Ian wrote: "This is a photo was taken during the 1940s at Murrayburn School, Sighthill. Half the class, like myself, came from Carrick Knowe. I wonder where they all are now - all over the world? I am in the back row, 4 from the right. Exteme right is Malcolm MacSween, my bike pal in the Youth Hostels. There are also two sets of twins in the photo." Ian Thomson, New South Wales, Australia: November 17 + December 10, 2007 |

Thank you to Ian Thomson for writing again, telling me the names of many of the pupils in this photo: Ian wrote: "With the help of my school pal, Malcolm MacSween, I've been able to put some names to this photo. They are (left to right):
" Ian added: "It would be good if a classmate should fill in some of the '?'s. - Isobel and Winnie Henderson were twins. - Nora and Pat Lethany were twins. - Sheila Todd lived two doors away from me. - Agnes Small lived in the same street as me. - Lily Shaw lived in the farm between Carrick Knowe and Sighthill, long since gone. - Malcolm MacSween met Syd Shepherd in the Army in Hong Kong. - Innes Nisbet came to Aussie: last heard of in New Zealand - Sandy Jack died as a young man. - My pal, Malcolm MacSween, passed away a few months ago in Kinlochleven."
