Last snaps of Hill school

Apr 7 2009 by Alison Lowson, Perthshire Advertiser Tuesday

THE Hill Primary School in Blairgowrie is closing at the end of the current school year after serving the community for 130 years.

Former pupil and photography student Ritchie Patton thought it would be a idea to document the past pupils and teachers in a photography book.

Over a three month period he made contact with ex-pupils and teachers and invited them to attend a photoshoot.

Ritchie used many locations around the school.

Ritchie would like to thank all those who have made the book possible, from the staff at the school, to the models and finally to Primary 7 pupil Marc Nicoll who helped him set up and move his equipment.

The book is online at http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/595023 or you can contact Blairgowrie Hill Primary School on 01250 872815 for details on how to obtain a copy.
