Evelyn Douglas
From the FPA Newsletter Issue 6:
Several newspaper articles in February contained reports on Georgetown School, Bridge of Gaur, at the west end of Loch Rannoch, which is threatened with closure. The Headmistress is Mrs Evelyn Brown. The local committee is working hard to have the school kept open, for although its roll at present is only 4 pupils, it is of great importance to the local community, and the roll has been as high as 13 recently.
Indeed, so important is the school that no less a person than David Bellamy, the botanist and television personality, has taken up the cudgels on behalf of the school. The reason for this is the involvement of the school in the "Growing up with Trees" scheme, run by the Scottish Native Woodlands Campaign. The school has won awards for its environmental work.
They also have a twinning arrangement with a school in Rarotonga in the Cook Islands in the Pacific, and last year pupils from the school, accompanied by a BBC Television crew, visited Rarotanga. This year they are to host a reciprocal visit.
