As Heriot's annual June Day celebrations near, it's important to reflect on the 400-year history of Heriot's. This picture shows a June Day celebration from the late Victorian/early Edwardian era. #HeriotsHistory #ThrowbackTuesday

This is one of the oldest school caps in the Heriot's Trust Archive. The silver thread tassel and decoration show that this cap was awarded in the early 20th century for sporting excellence, usually in cricket or rugby. #HeriotsHistory #ThrowbackTuesday

Heriot's S3 chemists have been studying alcohols as part of their N5 course. They visited Glenkinchie Distillery to understand how a Lowland style malt whisky is produced using 3 main ingredients (water, barley, yeast) by malting, mashing, fermenting, distilling, and aging.

Whilst learning about ā€˜Forces’ in Science, P4R demonstrated their understanding of a centripetal force using a tray, some cubes and a bucket of water! Active learning creates memories.
