A nostalgic 19 minute video of Blantyre High School Trip in 1976.
A group of 35 pupils and staff from Blantyre High School spend their summer in Holland with PGL Young Adventure, living and travelling on a barge around the canals of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Delft Scheveningen & The Hague.
This was known as ‘The Dutch Barge Holiday” and features many Blantyre people. Were YOU on this trip or recognise anybody?
With thanks to Brian Mathieson for digitising the 8mm film.
