Dunlugas School - Alvah/King Edward/Turriff - Banffshire/Aberdeenshire - 1920s Photo



I've been scanning some of the vast number of photos that I have
inherited. They're a great resource as many of my family members
tended to write down who everyone was (a habit I sadly honour more in
the breach).

I have found a photo of Dunlugas School in the parish of Alvah,
Banffshire, but on the eastern, Aberdeenshire, bank of the Deveron. It
dates from c1920-23 from the ages of my relatives in the photo. The
school would probably have taken pupils from Alvah and maybe from the
neighbouring parish of King Edward (though that was in Aberdeenshire).
Come to think of it, most of the Muirdens are in Aberdeenshire and
probably in the parish of Turriff.

Not only is everyone named, but they're located as well. If anyone
recognises a relative and wants a copy, please let me know. NB its
currently 9mb.
