I received this message from Tom Cunningham, whose Mum went to Whitehill :-
I am writing a book on Scotland's Native American connections. The major one is as I suspect you already know, - literally - right on your doorstep. Next to the old school building is where Buffalo Bill's Wild West show was located in 1891-92.
Now, get this for a unique claim to fame for your school - the school opened, as you say, in 1891, but did you know that the official opening , according to a report in the Evening Citizen, was on the night of 16th November? - ie the same night as the Buffalo Bill's Wild West show opened just a stone's throw away!
