Thank you to Alan Watson for providing this photograph of Class 4B at Daniel Stewart's College, Junior School, taken in 1950-51. Alan wrote: Class 4B "I am first from the right in the front row, and a friend of those days, Graham Henderson, is first from the left in the same row. I thought it might be of passing interest for you see a couple of lads who used to play in the back garden of his home at 68 Great King Street before the Edinburgh Photographic Society acquired it! Also in the photo: - 3rd from the left in the front row; my serious rival for smallest in the class, and now better known for his cycle-route books, Harry Henniker. - 4th from the right in the back row, another close friend, the late Stuart Henry, one of the first "pirate radio" and Radio 1 disc jockeys.

Thank you to Alan Watson who wrote again: Class 4B "I don't know what the 'B' suffix stood for. Alan Erasmuson is fourth from the left in the second back row. He was Dux of the School, 1959 -60. Hardly 'second division'. Headmaster "This class photo may be unique as it includes the headmaster Dr H J L Robbie. Our regular teacher was indisposed on that particular day." Merger "Stewart's Melville College came about as a merger of Daniel Stewart's College, Melville College, and about 58% of the pupils of John Watson's School when the latter closed and was officially incorporated into George Watson's College."
