"I came to Edinburgh from Rothesay, Isle of Bute, in 1954 and we stayed in 108 Easter Road.  I attended Abbeyhill School 'till 1956, i think.

I then moved on to Norton Park School and was in Classes 1A, 2A and 3A from 1956 until 1959

"This photo was taken at a Sports Day at Hawkhill.  That's where we were taken to for hockey and sports.  We also walked round to the Annexe for Art Classes."
