It was lovely to welcome Mark Cowe (1993) and his young children back to the School for a tour this week. Mark is now a Principal at an International School in Japan and came in for a visit during his summer holiday back home in Edinburgh, 

It was great to hear Mark's stories and memories from his time at Heriot's. We visited the Castle Building as part of the tour and Mark recalled a secret passage that used to be inside the main entrance to this building. 

Does anyone else remember this secret passageway, or any other secret passages in the School?

We are now into the School holidays and if you are back in Edinburgh this summer, or live locally and would like to pop into the School for a visit and a tour please don't hesitate to contact the Development Team by e-mail on dev@george-heriots.com, or by phone on 0131 221 6716. Please be aware that there will be some maintenance work taking place during the holidays.
