1959 My First Day at School "This is my first day at Stockbridge Primary School, Hamilton Place in 1958. I am the wee lassie with big bow in her hair not looking at the camera on the right of the photo. I remained there until 1963 when I moved to Bellevue Secondary but unfortunately most of this class was split up during those years due to the 'slum' clearances. This virtually destroyed the community. I remember that, as a child, your Granny, Auntie and Uncle, cousins and pals were all around you. It is still one of my saddest memories saying goodbye to my friends as they moved away, one by one." Allison Clark (née Patterson), Inverurie, Aberdeenshire: 25 March 2018 |

My First Teacher "I remember Miss Craig. She was our first teacher, but I didn't like her! She asked us what we liked to do and I replied that I liked to knit. She said I was making it up, but my Granny had taught me to knit before I could even read." Reading and Singing "I loved: - Stockbridge School - The Library along the road, and - The Salvation Army citadel next door, where we sang songs and had great fun."
