Lochaber High School Hostel
Image: © Chris Anderson Taken: Unknown
A hostel for pupils from the West Highlands, the Uists, Barra, Skye and the Small Isles who lived too far from school to travel every day. It was opened in 1961. This was taken around April 1963. To the left are the main Lochaber High School buildings. At this time it was a hostel for boys only although I believe it was subsequently extended to provide accommodation for girls as well.
