A photo from about 1952-53
Donated by Kenny Stewart from his schooldays in Tiree. Kenny writes that he was lovingly brought up in Balephuil by the wonderful Mary & John Campbell.
Kenny is not sure of all the names – possibly tall boy 2nd from left is Joe Gladwell. Perhaps a Mary Sweeten on right end and Nancy Gunn 2nd from right.
Please leave a comment if you can identify more.
