Talk and tour of historic site
A gathering is being held this evening (Tue 26) to mark the 90th anniversary of what was Douglas High School for Boys.
In 1927 the site was built at Ballaquayle, going through a series of changes over decades to become what's now the Upper School of St Ninian's.
Friends of the school have organised a talk and tour of the building from 7pm, with architectural historian Peter Kelly, and former head teacher Andy Fox.
Those attending are being encouraged to bring along any memorabilia and discuss their memories of school life.
Mr Fox, who's worked at the site since the 1980's, says many notable figures once walked the halls of this historic school:
BA: An identical talk and tour will be held on Thursday from 7pm - friends of St Ninian's are asking those who'd like to attend either event to contact the school first on either 648800 or 648900
