Two very special guides awaited P6 this week, when all three classes were invited to Edinburgh Castle.

We have been exploring the characters and events linked to the Jacobite risings between 1689 and 1746. Our guides came from opposite sides of the conflict and, using a rich array of props and original artefacts, they brought the daily lives of soldiers vividly to life.

You can find some images from the day, along with the questions they provoke, in this show.

The tours were a wonderful way of bringing history to life - well done especially to those who helped our tour guides make this one of the most interesting trips ever!
