My Holiday In A Manor House

A Memory of Fornethy Residential School.

I went to fornethy residential school when I was five and nine years old and I was very happy thare I loved the long walks through the woods and walking down the stoney brae to the burn to paddle our feet and we had to pass a farm to get to the burn and everyone would hold their nose because of the smell. I remember in the classroom sending home a letter and drawings of what I had been up to.also I remember getting a letter and comics rolled up in a scroll could go on and on but that is for a later time .I am very sad to hear about the terrible time some girls had. I hope the people responsible will be punished. Nothing can change the fact that I had a wonderful time there- that's why I went back a second time. Yours, Donna Boyd - Donna Wilson at the time. It was in nineteen sixty eight and seventy two that I was there.
