Recognise Anyone?

I found this in a bag of photos in the house. Chances are it's the Deanburn pupils in the mid- to late-1980s. Note the lack of any health and safety whatsoever.

If you are about 36 now and were on Deanburns float around 78,79 or 80 chances are your here.

I picked myself out on account of my massive ears which were beautifully accentuated by my Mums best efforts with the scissors to create the perfect bowl cut.

Love the site by the way, f****** awesome

Wis that no the remedial school??

Other skills had a remedial department but if I mind richt Deanburn was foo o' them.

What a shock a goat when a moved fi Hillcrest ti Dawson Place. The concrete pipes ootside ma hoose wurny as thick as them weans.

And the walk ti St. Mary's fi there was an expedition. Fichts efter skill oan the gress circle ootside Coco Wardrope's hoose made it ages afore ye got hame.
