i also went to the residential school in the 60's for 6 weeks, i remember the football pitch one end higher than the other and we would go on the saturday to the post office to buy our gob stoppers that we gambled away playing 5 stones during the week, and last but no least the digestive biscuits and glass of milk before bedtime..... coby haghill primary school dennistoun glasgow.....
