This photo should bring back some memories for many people. It’s the old Saint John Ogilvie High School just over the boundary, into Hamilton. Many local Blantyre children attended this Roman Catholic School.

A remember Mr degnan setting his white coat on fire lol𤣠my name is wullie mcvey.
Mr Degnan was one of the fun teachers. I always say it, the 1990 were the happiest years of the past 50 years!
We had schools like Ogilvie where you could feel the history of former pupils who walked through itās corridors, most families had a disposable income and Techno music was a brand new kind of music that we had never heard of. The happy years!!
Thanks for sharing Paul, this picture is still one of the most highly commended one on the Old Ogilvie Facebook page.
