_The Evening Post_, 26 November 1924:
AN EARLY OPINION
Writing of Mr. #Firth in 1891 before he became headmaster, the Old Boys’ Record stated:—“A strict, but impartial and capable master, his teaching was a source of terror to the boy who shirked his work. Although a strict disciplinarian he was ever ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in difficulties. Besides, an eager enthusiast in all sports, a very prince of athletes himself, he took the greatest trouble to instil into the minds of the boys that healthy love of outdoor sports which is so essential to a youth’s physical training. The most important feature in all his work, however, was his earnest endeavour to preserve a high moral bearing in all the actions of his boys—an endeavour in which he was eminently successful.”

If we ever get to see an international #Forth congress or convention, I can't possibly imagine a better location for it than the Firth of Forth.

I've just realised I can include more than one photo at a time 🤦‍♀️ .
More photos from our #dog #walk this morning. These are looking from #Brahan across to the #Cromarty #Firth and the #Black #Isle. And the other photo is a wee bit of mist above #CononBridge

Quite a dull morning for our #dog walk today.

The tall #trees towards the left are called the #memory trees (or The #Memories). They are exotic species which were brought to the estate as saplings by visitors in the 1800 and early 1900s.

Towards the right is the #Cromarty #Firth and the #Black #Isle.
