Geography Fieldtrip to Millport

In order to prepare them with the knowledge and skills required for writing up their Geographical Study a group of 14 pupils travelled to Great Cumbrae for the weekend.

This involved a river study in Brisbane Glen on the Noddsdale River and a coastal investigation on Kames Beach and an Environmental Quality Survey on the Impact of Tourism on Millport.

The weekend was a great success and was extremely beneficial to all our pupils. The hospitality of the fieldwork centre was great with all meals provided and greatly appreciated after all the hungry fieldwork.

The resolve of the pupils was tested to the limit though due to the blizzards, hailstorms and freezing temperatures that come with being outdoors in Scotland during the month of January!
