One of the oldest schools in Scotland is preparing to mark 300 years since its formation.
Wallace Hall Academy in Thornhill will host a weekend of celebration of three centuries of achievement, progress and cultural enrichment later this year.
Famous former pupils will join teachers, senior school staff, students, local villagers and farmers – with whom the school has strong links – to raise a toast to John Wallace, the successful Glasgow merchant and native of the village of Closeburn who started the story.
