70 years of friendship

Class of 1962 former pupils from Garnethill have proved the enduring power of friendship, with the group remaining close friends for over 70 years and regularly meeting for catch-ups! 

Most recently, the ladies gathered together at Caffe Parma in Glasgow’s West End for one of their “wee jolly swally lunches” in June 2024. 

Pictured above (L-R) are: Morag Ridings (née Wilson), Sheila McIntyre (née McVey), Elizabeth Dickie, Carole Tanner (née Annan), Heather Mackinnon (née Craig), Jean O’Callaghan (née Lindsay), Aileen Marshall (née Winning) and Pat Allison (née Whitton). 

The girls met in 1954 and it is heartwarming to see that after 70 years, the friendships formed at School still stand and these bonds are as strong today as they were all those years ago.
