Pupils past and present along with two previous headteachers and guests joined members of Kirkcowan Primary School for a special ceremony to mark the 150 th anniversary.
A time capsule had been prepared by pupils containing information about the school and objects like a dinner menu and pencils to illustrate life in the classroom in 2012.
The ceremony included contributions from pupils, the former head teacher Mrs Marshall, memories of the school from chair of the Parent Council Jamie Ribbens and closing remarks from Mr A Pattie, Head of Services for Dumfries and Galloway Council
