High School reunions are often reserved for meet ups across the pond in America, but the original classmates of Craigmount High School have bucked that trend.
Around 160 pupils from the first four years of the Edinburgh high school - 1970 to 1974 - gathered together in the White Heather suite at the Clermiston Inn on Saturday October 1. The event had been organised for 2020 to celebrate 50 years from the school opening but unfortunately a pesky pandemic threw a spanner in the works.
However, that did not deter organisers Adrian Souter, 64, and Liz Cann, 60, who remained committed and attempted to round up their old school community. The event was said to have been a roaring success with tears of joy and embracing hugs shared amongst those in attendance.
