Edinburgh/Leith Schools

[oldfashionedgirl]

Thank you Dorris and Smuget for that useful information.
I had always wondered how the intakes were decided as some ancestors didn’t go to their nearest school geographically.
Yes she was a clever woman from what I can glean, never actually met her.
She was a primary school teacher for many years but had to leave when she got married as you did in those days. She went on to run the family business.
She had one brother who went to private school as he was ‘the boy’ but she did equally well.
Thanks again for your help.
