Sutherland Education Committee, at Lairg on 26 July, 1950, appointed Mr Allan F. Robertson, Headmaster of Dornoch Academy. He took up the post on 11th September, suceeding Mr J C Ligertwood who was appointed Head Master of West Calder High School.
Suggests this photo is more likely to be 1940's or at the latest 1950.

My mother is Hetty Wilson - what a surprise to see this photo! She was born in 1934, so a date of 1950 or just before would seem to be right, but I will ask her to check.

May I just add that the date for this photograph is 1949. The picture was taken as we were about to board a coach taking us to sing in a Gaelic Mod at Golspie. I can't remember how we got on?
I now live on Hayling Island and I passed this photo on to Colin Macrae when I met him, by chance, in 2007. He now lives in the Southampton area.
Comment left on 26 September 2012 at 11:42 by William John Gow I will amend the year to 1949. We did indeed receive the photograph from Colin Macrae via his sister, Lorna. So thank you also for passing the photograph on to us Administrator
