The Photo
The Oldest Primary
School Still in Use
"Representation
of this
venerable establishment, Victoria Primary School.
now the oldest Primary School still in use in Edinburgh,
is scant so I hope you will be able to ‘publish’
this photo of a class at Victoria Primary School, probably Primary 6,
around 1948."
Certainly, Eric. I'm happy to
publish your photo, along with
your recollections of attending the school
- Peter Stubbs.
