It was with great joy that some S3 arts and social subjects pupils from Castle Douglas High School were able to participate in an overnight trip to Edinburgh after the months of cancelled visits due to the pandemic.
Thirty two pupils accompanied by Mrs Bowles, Mr Cathro, Mr Henderson and Miss McCulloch had an amazing visit to the capital city.
The group visited the Scottish Parliament and were able to watch a heated debate in the chamber about Indy Ref 2; they also briefly met Finlay Carson MSP. By chance they bumped into Alasdair Marshall – a 6th year pupil at the school who is currently a Member of the Scottish Youth Parliament – who was able to speak to the group about how they can get their voices heard at a national level.
