Your Schools
Below is a list of the old Leith Schools, some of which are no longer in existence. I know some that are listed were not exactly in Leith, but some Leithers did attend them. I have attached the names of those who have been in touch either through the Guestbook or e-mail to their appropriate place of education. This should make it easier to to view with a hope that you might recognise somebody from your past. It is not meant to be a poor relation of Friends Reunited. PS. Their E-mail addresses are in the Guestbook.
There are some of you out there who keep regularly in touch but have not intimated your schools. Hence your name missing from this list.
