Fascinating stuff, Kenneth! Who was the Duchess of Athol, though, and why did she open the building? Also, have we any idea which bit of the building Robert W-W and his team occupied? Also, again, as you may know, there was a big fight before Law got into the Scrym, as the Deputy Principal of the day (can’t remember his name) wanted to put the Rep in there. I wrote a piece about it in Contact.
Keep it up!
Thanks Robin! The Duchess of Atholl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katharine_Stewart-Murray,_Duchess_of_Atholl was on Perthshire Education Authority which is why she opened the building. Unfortunately we don’t know where the RWW was based. (Caroline and Kenneth)
