This is a fascinating collection of memories of Gillespie Girls from the golden era of James Gillespie’s High School for girls, as it was until 1973, written by Norma Allan. As now, the school was well-known for its high academic standards and achievements.
James Gillespie‘s School was the first free school in Scotland when it opened in 1803. It was established by the bequest of James Gillespie and was originally only for boys. In 1870, it became a day school for boys and girls, whose parents paid moderate fees, though 60 free scholarship places were retained to honour Gillespie’s will.
