SENIOR pupils from Hermitage Academy said a fond farewell to their secondary school years at their leavers’ ball recently.

Glamorous gowns, sharp suits and smart Highland outfits were all on show as the pupils travelled to Boclair House in Bearsden for the celebration.

Photographer Tim Berrall was on hand to take pictures of the celebrating pupils as they arrived ready to party the night away, celebrate the end of their exams and share memories of their time together over recent years.

Tim, who lives in Garelochhead, is a former Royal Navy submariner who has been a keen photographer since his teenage years. You can check out some of his work at timberrall.com and find his work on sale around Helensburgh and Lomond and beyond.

The school’s prize-giving ceremony will take place shortly after the start of the new academic year in August, once the results of this year’s SQA exams are published.
