Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2020 3:35 pm
This is not strictly schools, but education; but in any case it's relevant to schools because those listed will have gone on to teach in Ayrshire primary schools, and in particular some of them in Three Towns schools. I've included diploma students from other towns for that reason; for example, included in this list are the two students who taught us for the first month of Primary 7, and neither of them came from Ardrossan, Saltcoats or Stevenston.
That said, here is the diploma list for Craigie College of Education for 1968. I've highlighted the students from the Three Towns in bold; and also those from Largs and West Kilbride who may have been at Ardrossan Academy.
