Guid Nychburris Visit to Heathhall School 2025
We had a fabulous visit from the Guid Nychburris group at Heathhall School today which was enjoyed by the whole school, our nursery and visitors from Little Acorns nursery.
We learned about the history of Guid Nychburris, pupils joined in and helped the Lynors to check out the boundaries, P1 joined in on their horses and a couple of teachers were asked to race the Lynors.
The Cornet also announced success for some pupils at Heathhall School who took part in the Guid Nychburris handwriting competition. We received 3 highly commended certificates, 1 gold medal winner and we were delighted that one of our pupils won the John McQueen 50th anniversary trophy.
The Cornet and Cornet’s lass also presented a gift to our attendant.
Thank you to all who took part we had a great time!

Trip to Drumlanrig Castle! – May
On Wednesday 28th May, we visited Drumlanrig Castle. We had a guided tour around many rooms of the castle. It was beautiful!
We then had an early picnic lunch and spent the afternoon in the adventure playground and rolling down the hills in the gardens – this was definitely a highlight!!
Thank you to the staff at Drumlanrig Castle and our parent helpers for coming along. We all had a great day out.
