Highlanders Clearance

Greenock Highlanders' Academy has been demolished.



I wrote about the School not that long ago.  You can read about the riot at its opening here.

Highlanders' Academy, Greenock


Even the tree in the playground has been destroyed.


Shame really, but I presume it is all for the sake of (so called) progress!

    Always think it is a shame when a nice old building is demolished

    Didn't know about that one at all and I usually notice empty buildings like that. Hope they saved some of the more elaborate carved blocks to be re-used somewhere else.

    It IS sad. But I guess we can't keep everything - it's like turning out old Christmas cards, though if you keep 'em long enough they start to become too valuable to throw away - there's an interesting thought! At first, i thought your post was about the Highland clearances - something I've been reading a bit about recently.

    I feel sad when such historic places are torn down.
