Hi Eric,

It may be worth contacting the new school. According to the following webpage, there are old log books in existance somewhere. I don't know if they are held by the school, in the Archive Centre in Dumfries, or elsewhere.

Hi Norma,
Many thanks for reply. I would love to have a copy of your photo if it's possible. The reason
for my interest is that my daughter has just purchased the old school (the inside is now totally different and is a lovely home). My email address is annwitheric@sky.com Once again many thanks for your kind reply
Regards Eric
