1990: Claire Cameron: Editor of Kilquhanity’s Jubilee Booklet
The “Minimalist editor”
Kilquhanity’s Jubilee: Reflections and Creations 1940 -1990 was edited by former pupil Claire Cameron. Copies are perhaps still available from Kilquhanity Childrens Village.
The cover illustrations were designed by Sheila McKay. The inner front and back sketches as shown below are by Sam Booth, an ex-pupil.
The booklet consists mainly of observations from John Aitkenhead and memories of time spent in Kilquhanity by members of staff and pupils. I have added some of these chapters as separate Archive articles. These can be viewed by clicking on the following Links:

The booklet also includes a selection of photographs which according to the editor were made available by John’s daughter, Lois Aitkenhead. Here they are.
