Scotland 14 September: Glasgow

Today we revisited two schools in Glasgow which had warmly welcomed us last year. We are glad to visit and link both catholic and protestant schools. The first was St. Mirin Primary School, where we were greeted by the Head Teacher, Anne McFadden.

Today the school was enjoying a whole day of celebrations in honour of St. Mirin herself. Paintings on the theme of World Harmony, which were created for our previous visit, had remained on display for the whole year.

Many of the children recalled our previous visit. They thoroughly enjoyed trying to guess our various nationalities - a game which we have made more exciting by giving clues which include a Latvian bread dance, a Czech folksong and the Haka (a Maori dance which the New Zealand rugby team performs before each competitive match).

The children of St. Mirin gave us great inspiration to run the many miles that lie ahead. From their school, we ran to Croftfoot Primary School.

Here we were welcomed by the Head Teacher Mary Grant and her extremely hospitable staff.

Both the staff and the pupils had fond memories of our visit the previous year. We gave a presentation to the whole school, in the playground. A selected team of runners joined us for a lap of the grounds and then each child had the opportunity to hold the torch and make a wish for harmony.

The work that these two schools do and their commitment to enriching the lives of their students and thereby the community is invaluble. We are extremely proud to be associated with such selfless people!

In the afternoon, the international team visited Loch Lomond to spend their last afternoon in Scotland in her breathtaking countryside.
