There is also the History of Armadale Association (armadale.org.uk/haa.htm). They have published a number of books called "Picturing the Past".

Below is a link to some old West Lothian school photos, there are a couple of a school in Armadale but I don't know if they're what you are looking for.

Hi Kathy-9.. I just read your message and found it interesting. I'm not sure if your talking about the same Mcmasters I'm related to. My great grandfather was William Mcmaster whom married my great grandmother Ada Mae Barber. My grandmother who is still alive today, her name is Barbara Smetak who's maiden name is Mcmaster. Let me know if any of these names sound familiar. I'm doing a family tree
