School flashing.

Lead flashing on Stromness Academy roof just before it was scrapped during renovations in 2002. The lower section, on the left, is densely populated with pupils' names and initials; the top secton on the right has very few. They all date from the 1940s and 50s.

Comments:
The topmost initials, BL on the right, are those of Barbara Learmonth. I was sure mine, IH, a few inches lower, would be the highest ever achieved - then the very next day I found I'd been leapfrogged, and by a GIRL. Oh, the shame!
