GEOGRAPHY TRIP

The third year Geography students of Braidhurst High School had a rare treat on their recent trip to Culzean Castle and Country Park; the sun came out.   Pupils enjoyed a glorious day in the park grounds doing research as part of their National 4 and 5 assignments.   The morning was spent assessing the environmental quality of the park and surveying other visitors who were making the most of the lovely weather.   After a quick lunch the pupils then went on a coastal walk.   They completed field sketches and used their knowledge they had learned in class to work out why Culzean’s coastline looks the way it does.   Staff at the park praised the pupils’ enthusiasm and were impressed by their willingness to explore the coastal caves and rock pools.   After a packed day there was time for a quick ice lolly before heading back to school.
