A NORTH east Fife primary school's new garden has been dedicated to two local teenagers who lost their lives in tragic accidents. Natalie Mulholland from Springfield died last August at the age of just 16 when she was struck by a train at the Cults Mill level crossing, while her cousin David Mulholland (17) was killed in a car crash on the A91 in November 2008. 
Now the pair have a permanent memorial in the village in the shape of the new garden at Springfield Primary School, where both were pupils. Members of the community attended the opening of the garden on Friday afternoon. The decision to dedicate the garden to David and Natalie was made by the school's pupils and supporters of the project, and a plaque has been unveiled to remember the cousins. David's mum, Pauline, said she was "really touched" by the gesture. She told the Fife Herald: "I'm really happy that the garden will be dedicated to David and Natalie. "Hopefully it will be a nice place for the children to sit with their thoughts. "We first heard about the plans last year and we're really touched, especially as David and Natalie were older and the children there at the moment wouldn't really have known them." Donald Gillespie, headteacher at Springfield Primary, said: "A lot of hard work has gone into this project by the children in the school, the Rotary Club, community services and local people who have supported Springfield Primary School.
"We hope everyone will enjoy the garden and the children of the school will continue to work with the community to further develop the garden for many years to come."
