IT’S THE end of an era at Lochyside RC Primary as the school bell rang yesterday for the last time.
After 52 years, the school in Fort William has closed. Now a new uniform and a new building await the staff and pupils at St Columba’s in Caol which they will share with Caol Primary as of Monday.
In the week leading up to the last day, head teacher Violet Smith said there had been lots of mixed emotions as they packed up boxes and prepared for the move.
