I had a great day in Edinburgh this week.  Visited two great schools in Falkirk, Braes High School and Larbert High School.  The groups of students were excellent: smart and interested and interesting, too.  Special thanks to Adele at Braes and Tommy at Larbert for volunteering.  And a shout to Jonathan at Braes, too, for great questions.

This was watched over by the most excellent folk at Scottish Booktrust, for whom I'll be writing a blog about the day, too.  And some of the students at Braes (along with myself) were interviewed by the Scottish Big Issue, something I support wholeheartedly, having run for Shelter in the last marathon.

A great day all around, and I vow to see more of Edinburgh in the near future...
