I have posted this on Facebook.
This is the first time I have seen any photos of the B XV Rugby team with Simon Barry, Dec 1969. I am back row 3rd left and looks like Simon Pia front row 3rd left, French teacher and coach Mr Smith front left. Can anyone add more names to this image of a great team?! Here is the link..... http://www.scotusacademy.net/​Gallery/Teams/slides/​Rugby%20team%20with%20Simon%20B​arry,Dec1969.html
Hope you are all doing well and have a good new year!

I recently visited Edinburgh after 20 years. On the offchance I surfed the web for Scotus Academy and was delighted to find this reference. Hello all former schoolmates!

My father - former Brother Sean Laserian Campbell - taught at Scotus (History and English) during the academic year 1962-3. He left the Brothers in 1963 and married and had a family and died in 1987.

I am his son and am trying to find out more about his life in the Brothers.

He did not say much about his experiences, and I would be grateful and interested to hear if anyone has any memories or stories about him (good or bad).

Many thanks, Fergus

does anyone know what happened to the old combined classroom desk and seats

Just been reading about Chris Bartholomew, and his zoo visiting antics, I had heard of the wall being torn down in parts but did not venture into the zoo, but I must say it was tempting.

I was sorry to hear about the death of George Lewis MacLeod. He used to be at my house along with Colin lees a lot. We always had some fun. My sister Josephine was shocked when I informed her. I am sure that a lot of people will remember him and it would be nice if we could write our thoughts down about him.

Good job Maurice - I can sleep easy now.

Must be turning into an old fuddy-duddy!

Sorry Charlie,
It's looks like we were/are getting a lot of spammer attacking the guestbook.

Hopefully I have blocked and deleted the majority of them.

WHAT'S GOING ON? :confused:

Looks like the Christian Brothers worldwide have invaded the site. :eek:

Just came across your birthday wishes!
Amazing what a Google search can find.
Thanks

Interesting reading - scary hair cuts!! A very bizarre place with many bizarre teachers ( and a few pupils too )

As some others have commented, making it through unscarred at the hands of Messrs Engles ( Harry ) and O'Brien et al meant you were marked out as a survivor.

Now practising law in Dunfermline. Two girls at Uni and Art College.

I’ve been looking at this site again and thinking back to the old days. In 72 or 73 we had a Brother called Leach. Young, no sense of humour and could not control a class. One fine sunny afternoon he was trying to teach us Science. He was telling us about worms and slugs, when he asked the fatal question. (Him)� Can anyone tell me of another spineless animal like a worm�. Yes you guessed it. (Me) “ Yes Brother, Leech’s�. (Him, Shouting and VERY red in the face) “ Get out of here right now McLauchlan�. If I remember I got the belt, yet again. Oh happy days.

I have been back living in Edinburgh since 2005,but still working (occassionally)in London and only relatively recently became acquainted with the web site.
It brough back some fond memories and some not so fond -I remember looking at my homework book and seeing 'R' for report; which was code for 'the belt' and trembling at the thought of 'Noddy's' fury.
I did notice a class photo with some familiar names I had not seen before and it was great to read the reports of the old rugby teams. I do not think I would last long in the scrum these days.
Well done for keeping up the web site.
Why no reunion this year ?

I'm shocked to learn that Noddy Baylor was a pervert. He was such a lovely man. Such committment. Such determination. Such an inspiration to all us young catholics just setting out on our journey through life. At a stroke all my beautiful memories of Scotus shattered. Those golden schooldays forever tainted by that awful little man. What can I say?
