I’m sure this will bring back a lot of memories of school for Blantyre residents.
The Blantyre High School former badge. It adorned all the burgundy blazers in the 1970s and beyond. Did you know the emblum had BHS across the front for “Blantyre High School”. Then there were 2 buildings, representing the Priory and Kirk at Kirkton. Also on the middle were two noticeable wavy lines, depicting the local Rivers Calder and Clyde.
These were the four houses represented at Blantyre High School. Priory, Kirkton, Calder and Clyde. Houses which gave belonging to pupils, promoted togetherness and sometimes competitiveness. The houses had their own sports teams, clubs and if I remember rightly, were each given a different colour and appeared on Prefect badges too.
Can you remember the 4 houses of Blantyre High School? Not sure why I kept this badge when i left school, but here it is anyway, nearly 4 decades later!
