| The joys of school cross-country running. Date is a guess but could be any time before the end of 1975. Anticlockwise circuit of Blairmount Park, along the back of the football stand (now demolished), up steep path by boundary wall and down track. No trees on the SW slopes in those days. | Gallovidian | 20/02/1974 |
