BO RLA N D THE STRATHALLIAN THE MAGAZINE OF STRATHALLAN SCHOOL PERTHSHIRE Telephone No.: BRIDGE OF EARN 2 3 2 Volume S ix A ugust . 1960 N umber E leven Editorial T his has undoubtedly been a good year for the School, perhaps —as the Headmaster has said—our best year so far. More of our sixth-formers are gaining admission to Oxford and Cambridge—and that is the acid test of a school’s academic prowess—and our products are still continuing to impress those canny business men who award Industrial Scholarships. High­ lights of the year on the games field were victories in cricket matches with Loretto and Edinburgh Academy, and our defeat of Fettes at hockey; the time is not far distant when successes such as these will cause us no particular excitement. Less spectacular, but probably of greater significance in the out-of-class life of the school, are the new playing fields and pitches which have been brought into use this year; we can now in fact justly feel proud of our grounds. The gymnasium reverberated to the surprisingly pleasant sounds of “Ruddigore” and the stage shook to the thud of a chorus which included a Bridesmaid who wore size 12 shoes. A great deal of hard work led to the Fete, which can only be described as a tremendous financial success. The cause of the Fete, and the cause of a less happy event in the year, was of course the building of our new Chapel; we still have not all the money we need, but the Governors were surely right in their bold decision to start work. This has, more regrettably, led to the felling of the great beech trees in the Chapel Drive: they had become dangerous, and their demolition has greatly lightened the north-west corner of the main building, but nonetheless one was sorry when such venerable relics of an earlier age were cut down. The School’s activities have become more diverse than ever, and innovations include a Science Society and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme; it is about these societies and activities that this Editorial feels obliged to comment. These societies have two main purposes: one is to provide instruction on subjects in which boys are interested, and the other—and more important—purpose is to give boys experience and practice in running things. The Company Director of tomorrow can gain an early taste of a Board Meeting through his membership of a Committee running a Debating Society or Young Farmers’ Club, and, perhaps above all, the society dfficial should learn 4 The Magazine of Strathallan School the meaning of responsibility. It has sometimes happened in the past that a school society has prospered for so long as a master has been able to give it active help, but has quickly faded away as soon as he has withdrawn into the background: where this has happened, it has shown up in an unfavourable light the reliability, sense of responsibility and powers of leadership of the boys holding official positions in that society. We can all talk glibly about leadership, and, as often as not, the picture in the back of our minds is of issuing the appropriate words of command, and then charging the enemy trenches at the head of our company or battalion. When we think of leadership, we probably think too much about command, too little about responsibility, and perhaps never at all about reliability. The boy who can be relied upon to carry out his particular task in the running of a society, who can be relied upon to give of his best (no matter how poor it may be) on the games field, and who can be relied upon to work conscientiously and to hand in exercises punctually, has already gone far towards earning the respect of those around him, whether masters or other boys; and the acquisition of such respect is a major step towards obtaining powers of leadership which do not depend solely upon the shouted command. Staff Notes T he year was sadly marked by the departure of several senior members of the Staff. Mr. A. M. Appleby, for some years Housemaster of Ruthven, left the post of Head of the Modern Languages Department at Christmas to enter the business world; Mrs. Appleby, too, had served efficiently for four years as Headmaster’s Secretary. Mr. R. Heron, Housemaster of Freeland, biologist, and ever-enthusiastic coach of rugger and athletics, has gone to Christ’s College, Brecon, to undertake very similar responsibilities there. Mr. A. P. F. Alexander has taken his skill at languages, cricket and fencing, and his ebullient personality, to Clare School, Somerset, where he has become Headmaster of the Preparatory School. Finally, Mr. A. S. Gillespie, rich in experience, learning and wisdom, has retired after forty years of teaching biology, years which have won him many academic distinctions; but he was probably less proud of these distinctions than of the help he had been able to give to the less-bright boys in Strathallan and the other schools in which he had taught. These gentlemen, in their different ways, have all contributed greatly to the progress which the school has made in recent years, and we are all grateful to them for their unsparing The Magazine of Strathallan School 5 labours on the school’s behalf. They and their charming families take with them our good wishes for the future, and our sincere regrets at their departure. Miss A. L. Newman has also left, after four years as Head­ master’s Secretary. During this time she took a keen interest in all school activities, and won the universal respect and regard of the staff, not less by her delightful personality than by her unstintingly hard work on behalf of the school. To her, also, we wish good fortune. During the year we have welcomed to the Staff five new masters. Mr. P. A. Barker was educated at St. Catharine’s College, Cambridge, and taught at Eton before coming to Strathallan to teach Chemistry; he has already gained a reputation as an organiser of foreign tours. Mr. R. E. Birley read History at Brasenose College, Oxford, and played for the O.U. Greyhounds Rugger team; his enthusiasm for strenuous out-door activities is perhaps natural for one who was com­ missioned in the R.M. “Commandos”. Maj. T. C. G. Fairbairn was educated at Keble College, Oxford, and is now Head of Modern Languages as well as O/C of the C.C.F. Mr. G. Giles studied at Glasgow University, is now in charge of the Maths and Physics teaching in the school, and has taken over the supervision of the “Workshops”. Mr. S. W. J. Penny read Modern Languages at Manchester University, has started the teaching of Russian at the school, and has already made a name for himself in Perth as a fine pianist and string-player. Mr. R. N. Bain T here are perhaps few of us who had the privilege of knowing him intimately. For he was like that, a shy man. Yet most of us must remember the man himself as he went about with purposeful step overseeing the School’s business. And most of us were known by him. While we generations of Strathallians came and went between 1922 and 1955, he gave himself wholeheartedly to us and the School, and looked after expertly our beautiful buildings, grounds and playing fields. He grew up with Strathallan from its infancy at Freeland House, through adolescence to the final bloom of manhood. He watched with the interest, pride and understanding of a wise parent. Very few of us realise that he had the responsibility of planning and building the many new projects started and completed over a span of thirty years: gym, swimming pool, new dining room, Simpson House, cricket pavilion, new class­ rooms and many more. He cherished them all. Himself a craftsman, he loved good workmanship. 6 The Magazine of Strathallan School He was more than the trusted servant of our Founder Harry Riley: he was his confidant. When after the war a period of lean years overtook us, his loyalty and confidence remained unshaken and he stood as a pillar steadfast on its foundation. Many of us will remember thankfully the helpful advice he tendered when it was sought. Never hasty, never verbose, it came hesitantly, quietly but surely, with a cock of the head, blue eyes sparkling. We remember with deep gratitude a man of unfailing courtesy, a fine gentleman, and a great friend, who toiled with a big heart unceasingly for the welfare of Strathallan. Gilmour Leburn, M.P. Mr. R. P. McGlynn It is with regret that we record the death of Mr. R. P. McGlynn. Hon. L.T.C.L. at the age of 87. He had taught the violin at Strathallan for over 30 years, in fact, ever since the earliest days of the School on the present site.

GLOBAL PANDEMIC Impact on the Edinburgh Academy The Edinburgh Academy, along with the rest of the country watched the spread of COVID across the UK and the world in March 2020. The School had a few weeks of preparation to move to remote learning and teaching before the Scottish Government announced that schools would be closed from 20th March 2020 and that the certificate exams for 2020 had been cancelled and that the pupils would be graded on teacher assessments of their work. At this time the pupils in these certificate years were to be allowed into the School for 2 weeks to allow more evidence to be gathered to support their exam grades. This fast moving situation then changed again on Sunday 22 March 2020 when the Deputy First Minister made an announcement that no pupils were to attend school with immediate effect.

  • Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant
    Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant Academia Isabel Frances Grant, MBE, LLD, was an author, historian, antiquarian, and founder of the Highland Folk Museum. Born in Edinburgh and educated in London, Dr. Grant was a descendant of the ancient family of Tullochgorm and the granddaughter of Field Marshal Sir Patrick Grant, GCB, GCMG. Dr. Grant wrote her first book, Everyday Life of an Old Highland Farm, in 1924. While traveling in Europe, she was influenced by the open air museum movement of the early 20th century. She started collecting items of Highland material culture and founded the Highland Folk Museum, called Am Fasgadh (The Shelter), firstly on the island of Iona, and later at Kingussie in Badenoch in 1944. Today, the museum is situated in Newtonmore. In recognition for her pioneering efforts, Miss Grant was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Edinburgh in 1948 and elevated to the rank of MBE in 1959. Dr. Grant wrote a number of books during her long life, including The Lordship of the Isles (1935), Highland Folk Ways (1961), and Periods in Highland History (1987, published posthumously with Hugh Cheape, PhD). Dr. I.F. Grant died in 1983 at the age of 96. Robert Edmond Grant, MD, FRCPE, FRS (1793-1874) established the Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy at University College, London, in 1828. He was born in Edinburgh and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. Dr. Grant was the first professor of zoology and comparative anatomy in England and personally donated many of the specimens, dissection materials, diagrams and lecture notes that comprise the collections of the museum today.

  • SC016580 Merchiston Castle School Updated Inquiry Report
    FILE NOTE: DATE: 17 November 2011 AUTHOR: OSCR SUBJECT: REPORT UNDER SECTION 33 OF THE CHARITIES AND TRUSTEE INVESTMENT (SCOTLAND) ACT 2005 ON INQUIRY: MERCHISTON CASTLE SCHOOL (SC016580) Background As part of the Rolling Review of charities the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) undertook an inquiry into the charitable status of the Merchiston Castle School under section 28 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (‘the 2005 Act’). This involved a desk-based review of written materials in order to determine whether public benefit was provided by the charity. A face to face meeting was also held with the School to help gather this information. Consideration To have charitable status, bodies have to pass the ‘charity test’ as laid out in sections 7 - 8 of the 2005 Act. The charity test requires bodies to have exclusively charitable purposes, to provide public benefit in Scotland or elsewhere, and to meet certain other conditions. Section 7 (1) (b) of the 2005 Act, provides that a body meets the charity test if - • it provides (or in the case of an applicant, provides or intends to provide) public benefit in Scotland or elsewhere Section 8 (2) (b) of the 2005 Act requires that in determining whether a body provides or intends to provide public benefit in Scotland or elsewhere, regard must be had to – a) how any – (i) benefit gained or likely to be gained by members of the body or any other persons (other than as members of the public), and (ii) disbenefit incurred or likely to be incurred by the public, in consequence of the body exercising its functions compares with the benefit gained or likely to be gained by the public in that consequence, and b) where benefit is, or is likely to be, provided to a section of the public only, whether any condition on obtaining that benefit (including any charge or fee) is unduly restrictive.

  • 2 Merchiston Castle School
    MERCHISTON INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL Director of Business / CFO INFORMATION PACK FOR CANDIDATES 2018 INFORMATION PACK MERCHISTON INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL FOR DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS CANDIDATES. 1 FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL, CHRIS LYNN Our new school, Merchiston International School, opened in Shenzhen in August 2018. We attracted a great team of teaching and support staff, sharing the drive and vision of the school’s founders to establish this new venture. Opening with 176 students across Junior and Senior Schools, we anticipate healthy growth in student numbers in 2019. We are now seeking to employ a Director of Business / CFO to join our team. We need a person with a ‘roll-your-sleeves-up-and-get-elbow-deep’ attitude to their work day as the school is established. Like the team already on board, the successful person will be a dynamic soul with a pioneering heart and a collaborative spirit looking for a challenge to add zest to their vocation. If you join us at MIS, you will be part of a special founding team. The Lonely Planet Guide calls Shenzhen one of “the most incredible Chinese cities you’ll never have heard of”. This megacity, a mere 17-minute train ride just across the border from Hong Kong, is New China at its finest and most frenetic. A sleepy fishing village only a few decades ago, Shenzhen has exploded. It is now the epicentre of Southern China’s entrepreneurial spirit, a place where the world’s manufacturing, technology and financial industries draw the young, hungry and innovative from all over. As a result it is also home to some of China’s most exciting up-and-coming contemporary artists and performers.

    The Glasgow Academy The Glasgow The Glasgow Academy 2009-2010 Chronicle 2009-2010 The Glasgow Academy is an educational charity registered in Scotland. Charity Number SCO 15638. The Glasgow Academy 2009-2010 Autumn 2010 Number 330 Editor: Tom Carlin with Alan Whyte, Alison Campbell and Clare Blair From the Rector It has been a year of remarkable achievements. As the all-round school, we aim to give our pupils the adaptability, confidence and resilience to live happy and fulfilled lives, becoming masters not just of many fields like Renaissance man, but of fields not yet even invented. The finest talents we can develop are the capacities to think on your feet, handle whatever suddenly comes your way, and work with others for the wider good. So we are proud that our pupils have achieved what no others have done. In the Scottish Parliament we won the Law Society of Scotland Donald Dewar Memorial Debating Competition for the second year running. We are the first school to win the competition twice. 128 schools took part and the judges were unanimous in their decision. Oscar Lee and Seamus McGuigan - plus Sam Reilly who won the prize for the best floor speech of the night - bagged every prize going. At the English Speaking Union, St Andrew’s Day Debate, also in the Scottish Parliament, Lauren Hudson won the quaich for best individual secondary school speaker. When you’ve played in the Bandstand in Central Park, New York, in sub-zero February temperatures, performed in the chapel at Ground Zero, and sung with the remarkable delayed echo and swirling acoustics in St John the Divine, the world’s largest gothic cathedral, your music - and your confidence - have been taken to new levels.
