Local schools win green cup
MERRYLEE primary and neighbouring school OLA have jointly won the Millar Cup for best children's allotment in Scotland.
Both schools were presented with the trophy at the Kibble Palace in the Botanic Gardens recently and on Sunday and on Sunday the children showed off their hard work at an open day at Merrylee allotments.
Merrylee primary had a stall selling produce from its allotment and allowed visiting children to get their hands dirty by digging up vegetables and fruit picking.
Headteacher Liz Mahindru said: "It is wonderful to be able to offer our pupils this fabulous outdoor learning experience.
"We are thrilled with the support of parents and from the community. The Merrylee allotment plot holders have guided the development of our plot have been very generous to the pupils."
