Second Row

"It may be prudent to look for this building on the approaches to the River".

@IBM.........Aye....Drummond Street it is.......

A couple of easy ones to start the week........

Well, I have to take off my hat to you for finding an almost exact replica of the building I photographed!!

This is the one I photographed......Douglas Row, by the riverside.

.

  .....and this is Midmills Road. Maybe the same architect designed both?

Just now, IBM said:

Would never have got that one I remember the shops but not the buildings.  Notice the woman in Pizzaland watching you taking the photo!

......and the one, bottom left, wondering why I'm taking a photo of an old building!!!

Time was on the side of this building until the demolition squad moved in!

Spot on!

Aye, well done.

Here's a wee bit more......

Spot on!

The former offices of the Highland Railway Co., Academy Street.

Here's a bit more of the building.......

There may be a slight problem here with any change in the numbering system after 1961 when the "new" block was opened, but certainly from when I started in 1965 until the place ceased to be the Royal Academy in 1979, you were looking at (with occupants at that time):-

Ground floor (L-R) - R2 Maths (Patsy "Froggy" Forbes), R3 usually Maths (various, but frequently Ma Hardie) R4 Classics (Jess Thomson) First floor - R11 Maths (Allan Wilson), R12 Maths (Murdo MacDonald then Ian "Skeenuck" MacDonald), R13 Maths (Janet Banks) and round the corner R23 Music (Ian Bowman and previously "Boosey") The corresponding rooms on the far side of the building were Ground - R36 English but the Library pre-1961 - (Alan Dougherty), R6 English (Eddie Hutcheon then Isolyn Urquhart), R5 Modern Languages (Kenny Campbell) Upper R7 English (Fritz aka Jacob Mowat, then Eddie Hutcheon) R16 Modern Languages Ellis "Curly" Stuart) R15 Modern Languages (Leonella Longmore) R14 often Latin (various but frequently Sheena Osler/Matheson).

@C.B.

Thanks for such a detailed reply. It brings life to the photo.

If I remember correctly, I think Pop Frewin's retreat was on the ground floor under Boosey's room. (To the left of that entrance.)

@C.B. 

How about identifying all the classrooms, top and bottom floors, for us olde Caddy Rats?

Well done,C.B.

Corner of Young Street and Alexander Place.

Phew!!

That's right!

I'll have to sort out a really difficult one tomorrow.
