Pupils in P6 & 7 undertook a residential visit to Edinburgh from 15th to 18th May. Pupils had a full itinerary which included a visit to the Scottish Parliament, Dynamic Earth, Camera Obscura, Edinburgh Castle, the Museum of Scotland and Greyfriar’s Bobby – there was also time for some leisure activities such as Bowling and the Edinburgh Ghost Bus! At the Parliament, pupils enjoyed an educational tour of the building and were also delighted to meet with their MSP, Kate Forbes who took them to her office where they had a meeting to discuss local issues which were important to them. All agreed that this was a fantastic experience and the boys were commended for their excellent and responsible conduct at all times – and, if you are ever in Edinburgh – they highly recommend Bertie’s Fish and Chips!

On Tuesday 30th May, pupils in P1-3 went on an outing to Dunvegan Castle and the Giant MacAskill Museum with a stop off at the Misty Isle for a delicious fish and chip lunch. The weather was absolutely beautiful and pupils thoroughly enjoyed their day. We were given lovely feedback that, as always, Raasay Primary pupils represented their school perfectly with beautiful manners and being cheery, polite and helpful at all times. The highlight for Eachann was ‘finding the keys in the Castle’, for Alexander it was ‘exploring the gardens and seeing the salmon in the river’ and for Harrison it was ‘being in the dungeon’.
