re-added three alumin - Robertson
Cunningham and Buchanan - all have wiki articles in their own right and this is supported by references from the Scotsman newspaper which states A) They're famous, B) they went to Portobello. Some of the other alumin are in there too but I'll leave that to someone
496:
I haven't any records. It was common knowledge the year I was there. It needed an annex to take in an exceptionally large intake of new pupils (who all went to the old school annex), For at least year it was apparently the biggest school in Europe in terms of numbers but of course they were spread
177:
364:
Why has the addition of noted alumni on this page reverted. The manager of the third club in
Scotland and Scottish national footballer, John Robertson should surely be included. Also how can Phil Cunningham not be regarded as notable alumina. I refer to his home page with a list of awards
403:
Again I've out
Robertson back in as he is clearly an expupil and clearly famous and notable as 16 appearances for the Scottish football team would suggest as well as numerous other plaudits including presenting on tv and manager a major Scottish soccer club
342:
I knew Gail Porter and went to
Portobello High School. Ewen Bremner did go there at the same time that I did, but Gail Porter did not go to Portobello High School. She did live in the catchment area but went to a different high school.
289:
Hi, I just put in Phil
Cunningham and Pat McGlynn as notable alumni and was about to put in Johnnie Cunningham all of whom were at Portobello High School and all are noted in wikipedia without any controversy. Is this the vandalism?

This wryly comic entry may be vandalism. The referenced article does not indicate that he attended PHS or much in the way of him being notable. What is his claim to fame?
369:
He is a scottish symphony composer and holds an MBE. If presenting TV programmes make for notability he does this regularly as well. Who is 'vandalising' this article.
