Hi Im currently a first year pupil at the school and just like to say that it is great and hope it stays like that! I really like the teachers except a few, and like most subjects. |

During a trip back home from university during easter I was informed that Mr Low would be leaving Linlithgow Academy by a fellow pupil from my year. Suspecting that this was some sort of sordid rumour I checked the website only to find out that this information was true! Mr Low was a fantastic rector during my six years at the Academy from 1998 to 2004 and I know he will be sorely missed by everyone. |

Dear Lovely hearts who are reading this I have spent five days in
that wonderful school last October. I met lovely people in English
Department. Uk is proud of you and I'm proud of Egypt because the
Egyptian government gave me that chance to see this Academy. I wish
you all success and progress. Here are some Arabic words for greetings.
Al salamo alaikom means Peace be with you.Let me know if I can help.
Your Egyptian Pharaoh Mohammad |

Hello to anyone reading this, I was at the Academy the same time as Johanna and John there. I really miss the old place. I moved down to England in that same year and spent a few years there and am now living in Australia of all places. Thankyou to the teachers there who helped me and many others move into real life. If anyone wants to contact me then here's my email addy.... kangaroo79@msn.com |

This is an answer to Mark (Hank the Yank) Smith's query on old friends. Samantha Hume is now a Lecturer at Cologne University. She speaks German like a native and teaches English and occasionally the Classics. She is adored by her students; always has time to discuss their problems and students seldom miss any of her classes. Old friends and teachers can contact her at: samantha.hume@uni-koeln.de |

Well what a whirlwind! I was at LA from 1991-1994 was in class 1F2 when I left early to go and live in New Zealand! I too, like Johanna who posted above had to move to the temp buildings due to the abestos being removed. I think I gave Mr Spence (art teacher) a few shocks with my fainting episodes- sorry about that- don't faint anymore! Jeez who else! Mrs Keating (Accounting) Mr Brown (Economics) Dr Mitten (a legendary teacher and scholar who loved my late class arrivals-sorry!) and many other superb staff who gave me a greeat start in life. All the best to you all. Parents! send your kids to this great school!! |

Having just spoken to Linda Forrest (English Dept) re my daughters' student placement in August, I wanted to have a look at where she was going. I must say I am impressed with the overall school environment projected, the holistic approach of including pupils, teachers and parents can only benefit everyone in helping the next generation become well rounded citizens. |

I'm looking for former class mates at Linlithgow ... circa 74-1977 ... especially Matthew Alexandar and John Walker, Helen Brown and Debra Dewar (Dewer?), Samantha Hume ... and my friend .. The "Beck" from those days ... also my favorite French teacher ... although I can't remember the Gent's name - but he was known by "Knoddie". |

The article in The Independent (on-line) caught my attention.
It read something about restricting the purchase of properties in
certain area due to the high demand for its school. It sounded remarkably
similar to the story of Rossmoyne SHS in Western Australia, a state
school with a plethora of achievements in the sport and academic
arena. Then I googled the name of the school and lo and behold,
apart from the centenarian tradition of Linlithgow Academy, everything
seems analogous between both schools. Editorial Note: the article mentioned is here |

Glad to see that it was not just me the Hazel Duguid threw chalk at! I never became any better at Mathematics, but by crikey, I'm good at Arithmetic. |

Hi there. I bumped into Hazel Duguid in the new baby clinic in Dalgety Bay the other day (she was there with her daughter) and I had a wee chat with her - even though it's 14 years since I left the school. Sorry to hear that she's now retired - she was without a doubt one of the finest teachers I ever had the privilege to have been taught by (and had bits of chalk thrown at me by), and the school can only be worse off for her going. I wish her well and hope she enjoys her retirement. |

Hello. I am a Japanese who was on the register to this school
for about three years. By the favor which studied English in Scotland,
inconvenient stripes are not carried out to the lesson of English
in Japanese school at all. |

Amazing what you find surfing the web. I attended from 76-1982, somehow scraping through to do 6th Year French, and surprise, surprise, my son is about to do Single Honours French at Kent. I must've picked up something useful. |
Johanna Bathgate |
Well it is nice to see the website again. Was at the school from 1991 to 1997 and was part of the move the school made when the abestos came out! Any info or anyone who wants to contact me the email is: johanna_bathgate@hotmail.com |

What a surprise to find this most interesting and informative
website. I attended the "Academy" in 1960-1962. I was
known as the "Yank" having grown up in the U.S. but I
was born in London and my mother's family was from Linlithgow (MacKnight). |

Haha, the websites just a tiny bit better than it used to be! Well done who ever made it. Have to say i miss the old place, however hi to all my old teachers and I'm pleased to say i managed to stay away from the student binges a little bit. Passed all my 1st yr exams. Other than that, im the 1st entry on this guestbook. Wahey! |
