Letter from HolmstonAndrew and Gregor from P7B wrote an entry for the competition to reply to Mr McRobbie, and also went off and took some photos to illustrate it - -----Original Message-----From: Holmston PS <HolmstonPS@dial.pipex.com> To: David McRobbie, Queensland, Australia, c/o Holmston Primary School <HolmstonPS@dial.pipex.com> Date: 31 October 1999 18:46 Subject: Letter from Holmston [ set up for Outlook Express 4.0 on a PC at 800x600, hope you can read this OK ] Dear Mr McRobbie, We appreciated your e-mail telling us about your short history at Holmston Primary School. We thought that we would tell you about what Holmston is like now and a bit
about the surroundings.
Holmston has now got an extension to the Ashgrove street face of the building: - The old gym hall is now Primary 6's classroom, the gym hall is in the new extension along with the dining area and kitchen. The headmaster's office has been moved to a different section of the extension, the room in which the office was is now mostly Primary 7A's classroom. Funnily enough the building is now the way it should have been in 1825. 
The old Cattle Market in which you described as being scared of the cows is now Safeway's supermarket (see photograph). The Cattle Market was moved in 1994 . It is now about 1 mile outside the town's boundary heading south. The house you lived in is now owned by a Mrs Stewart and one of the people writing this lives at number 26 Hilary Crescent. You might remember the hospital on Holmston Road, it has been demolished in the last few months after lying empty for 4/5 years after the opening of the new Ayr Hospital.  Thank you for the books, and lang may yer lum reek,
Andrew and Gregor, Primary 7B Holmston.
