Don McClymont was just a laddie when he arrived in Glenrothes – and this school photo will spark many memories.

He first came to Fife in 1958, when Glenrothes town was just 10 years, and now lives in Falkland.

He dug out his old school photo after reading about the town’s 75th anniversary celebrations currenbly taking place

Don said: "I was in the Kingdom Centre a few days ago and noticed a huge sign saying it was now 75 years of age. I lived in Glenrothes at 75 Warout Road and even have photos of me from around that time.“I went to Warout Primary School and still have a school photo from 1958, which I think is of the Primary 4 class. I can even still remember most of the names of the pupils in the photo.”
