Brian actually sent the photo and some details on 12 March 09 - Apologies to him for taking so long to get it on the web site.

Hello Bill,
The school photos on the Caithness website are fascinating so I thought I would add to your collection. This photo is of the class I was in at Wick North School in either 1947-48 or 1948-49 when I was living at Noss Head Lighthouse. Unfortunately, I cannot remember many names as I left the school in October 1949. Perhaps someone else can fill in the blanks.

At least three of the people in the photo appear in the fifth year photo at Wick High School (1958), viz., Robin Cormack, John Reid and Irene Carter. There are probably more there that I don't recognise.

After leaving Wick in 1949 I lost touch with everyone but in 1959 Robin Cormack and I turned up in the same first year class at Edinburgh University which was quite a coincidence.

Keep up the good work. The website is excellent.

Best wishes.
