Most of them look all the same

Few more.......Captain McCallum,Mr Ferguson,John Williamson,Mrs Kerr,Mr Smith

Struggling with the female faces!!

here's a few more for now - Alan Meyrick (br3l), Gordon Evans (br3r), Mr Lennox - Maths (third row, 2r), Jack Milligan - (3rd row, 4r), Mr Scott - French, Dr Milne - Physics, Mr Finnie - Geography, David McEwan and sure many folk will name them all

What a great photo - thanks for posting - loving the beards and the clothes and the whole late 70s early 80s vibe!

A blast from the past .... I thought they were really old then .....but they werent some of the female teachers were Morag Martin and Alison Millar (PE), Mrs McPherson (Language) a lady we called [Miss McGougan - Maths] but im not sure if she was Miss McPhail or not .Mr Simson (tech) behind Mr McGilvary (tech), near them was [Alan McLay] .
Mrs Mcintyre (HE) and Mrs Mcconachie (HE)

Can we please try and avoid nicknames - some of which were not necessarily the kindest.

Many in the photo are sadly no longer with us.

Brings back many memories - they don't make teachers like that any more. A few more names: Miss Hamilton, Miss Docherty and Mrs. McAndrew (all English), Mr Bissett and Dr. Milne (physics), Mr and Mrs Dargie.

Ok, here goes, back row from left Page, Bissett, Meyrick, McPherson, Duncan, Henderson, Milne, Lennox, Evans, Kilpatrick, Purdie.

2nd Back Row Harrow, Finnie, Stevenson, McKerral, Scott, Stankey, Simpson, McCallum, Dargie?, Milligan, Elliott, Lennox Stewart.

Third Back Row Young, Ward, McEwan, Davidson, Leys, Kerr, Urqhart, McGillvray, McPherson, Togneri, McLay, Smith, Mc millan, McAndrew, Miller, Martin.

Front Row Fergusson, McBrayne, ?, Gemmel, Horseman?, McIntyre, ?,?, Donachy.


Apologies to the above named living and dead that I have'nt given your titles, didna take secreterial studies.......

The one I thought was Mrs Horseman is Miss McGougan and to the left of Mrs McIntyre is Mrs Kerr.

Think it would be 1980 Dave, thats the year I started, Mr Dargie had left by that time but he was there when the primary 7s had their visiting day before end of term.
I met his sister by chance in 1987, she was working in a library in the outskirts of Vancouver, there ye are now!!!!!

Miss Hamilton, front row, next to Miss Donachy, next along (I think) is Mrs Dargie.

The Dargies lived in a flat in Queen St, that was subsequently bought by our Morris. When he stripped the wallpaper, he found some messages they had written to each other. Some of them were very saucy

Two to the right of Mrs McTaggart is Miss Woodrow then Catherine Dobbie I think.

Am I right in thinking that Mr. Harrow is the only teacher pictured still working at Campbeltown Grammar? As someone pointed out earlier, it's a shame several others are no longer with us. Perhaps we should be doing a "where are they now?" on some of the other teachers here.

Oh the nicknames, the nicknames ...

I hope you will forgive this one, it is not nasty at all ...

We had ...
