Clishmaclaver can confirm that one of of our very own fifth year pupils attended a key information sharing day at the Scottish Parliament, along with MSPs and other invited guests. Our pupil created this fantastic opportunity for himself by being proactive and working with Young Scot – the Scottish information and citizenship organisation for young people – who sponsored his trip. Growth mindset, anyone? 😀

This event celebrated the contribution nature makes to our lives in towns and cities and highlighted how this work helps to improve the population’s health, local environment and the economy by profiling a range of local urban projects which connect people with nature.

Clishmaclaver hopes to have this canny young Scot guest blog about his ‘capital’ experience – watch this space!
