Saturday 13th June
The School Centenary Group and West Linton Historical Association hosted a unique exhibition of "photographs through the years", mementoes, memorabilia etc. The exhibition opened at 10am and ended at 1pm to tie in with the Pipe Band leaving from the school to march down to the Whipman Sports Day in the afternoon.
The Pipe Band had a new tune composed to commemorate the Centenary and this was played for the very first time at the exhibition.
