[edit] Summary
The school and attached headmaster's 'school house' at Mordington, Berwickshire, 1891. The scene is exactly the same today. Photo taken from an original old glass negative.
[edit] Copyright rationale
The original photographer was the then schoolmaster, David Sinclair. From the date of the image (1891) it is presumed the the photo is now out of copyright, if any was claimed in the first instance.
This image was originally uploaded by David Lauder as Image:Scan.jpg. I have uploaded it here after his request to help him. Tyrenius 21:13, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Prior to 1 January 1996, the UK's general copyright term was life of the author plus 50 years. The extension to life of the author plus 70 years was introduced by The Duration of Copyright and Rights in Performances Regulations 1995 (SI 1995/3297); which had the effect of making EU Council Directive No. 93/98/EEC, created to harmonise the duration of copyright across the European Economic Area, law in the UK. It contained a controversial provision which meant that certain copyrights were revived: material that had been in the public domain came back into copyright. The normal practice of British law would have been to freeze the extension of the public domain, rather than reviving copyright. Such retrospective laws are very rarely enacted.
If the 1988 Act offered a shorter term of protection than under the new regulations, if anywhere in the EEA a work was under copyright protection on 1 July 1995, then the copyright of that work was revived. If the 1988 Act offered a longer term than the new regulations, then the old longer term still applied.
