• Class photos from around 1900-2000.
• We also have a folder with over 200 school photos (mostly named but still looking for some names, we welcome any information on these). 

Thank you to everybody who has donated photos and artefacts for this exhibition.

This will run from October through until Remembrance Day. After this the Lower Laing Museum will close for the winter unless by appointment.

Moira Wilson, Vice Chairman, has put together the Soldier@s exhibition over the years and is always adding new names and information. 

At the outbreak of WW2, Newburgh was designated a “Reception Area” by the Government. On 3rd September 1939, a train brought 172 evacuees from Abbeyhill School in Edinburgh to Newburgh.  We have gathered 12 stories of evacuation from people who are connected with Newburgh in various ways. These, with photos and other artefacts, are displayed for local interest.
