Hello, l was a pupil at Murrayburn school from 1956 to 1960, before 1956, l was at Westerhailes for a couple of years. I grew up in the old prefabricated houses
Great photo Judith.
The lad in the back row, next to me, is Stewart Taylor. He had an older brother, Michael, who was also at Murrayburn. I bumped into Julia Keen a couple of months ago !!!
Murrayburn & Carrickvale Them were the Days!
Ian-1938: Helen1946: Margaret-1948: Sheena-1950: June-1952.
I was born in 1944 at 60 Calder Drive, and went to Westerhails Primary, then to Carrickvale. I had two brothers, Derek and Reggie then we moved to Broomhouse I would love to talk to any one still with us to reminisce about our days
Does anyone remember Ms/Mrs Keppie. A teacher at Murrayburn around early 50’s?
She taught us to cross our arms to stop fidgeting, which I still do to this day.
