Mural is history in the making

A stunning mural depicting the role of Polish troops in the Second World War has been unveiled at Biggar High School.  The work of art was completed by lower school students at Biggar High School in conjunction with street artist Frank Carty.  The students’ inspiration came from their history lessons where they learned that Polish troops had been billeted in their school in October 1940. And the hunt for more information led them to seek the help of local historian Charlie Rigg and his daughter Suzanne who is the curator of the local Moat and Gladstone Museums.
