P5 on the Pilgrim Road from Carsphairn to Polmaddy.

Primary 5 went on a hillwalk along the old Pilgrim Road which went from Glasgow to Whithorn where St Ninian built the first church in Scotland. The class have been learning about Mary Queen of Scots and discovered that she went along the road in 1563. The road was a grassy track used by people and horses and there are still signs of this very old road today high up on the hills near Carsphairn.

Mr Tyson was very impressed with how the class coped with the unpleasant weather at the start of the walk, enthusiasm, map skills and trying to imagine what it would have been like walking this road 500 years ago!

Please have a look at the photographs and the captions and comments written by P5.
