I see Notre Dame mentioned. I was a pupil of the old Glasgow High School..a non denomonational selective school run by the then Glasgow Corporation and closed by Dr Daniel Docherty of the City Chambers. I was ok...I went to the new school which was private, initially in Bearsden and then in Old Anniesland. Notre Dame was allowed to remain open although it ran on the same model purely because it was Catholic and those were the leanings of Glasgow Corporation at that time. Allan Glen's School suffered the same fate, though never to reopen. This thread I'm afraid has opened old wounds which I had long forgotten about when people were playing religious and political football with the lives of children. I had initially gone to the High School to escape bullying at Holmlea.
