Memories of Mile End primary

The photo above is of my primary class at Mile End School, Aberdeen. I think the year would be 1947. Three of us on the photo are still in touch. I would enjoy hearing from any others who are in the photo, or relatives who can give us names to go with faces. I am in the back row of girls, with the light coloured dress and two bows in my hair, second from the right.

Your words on looking over at Bennachie left me quite teary. My son and his family lived in Old Rayne for a few years and the view from their bedroom window was Bennachie. Among my little granddaughter’s first words were, “Good morning, Bennachie”. She is nine-and-a-half now and they live on Salt Spring Island, one of the Gulf Islands in British Columbia.
