Lanark Grammar and St Aidan’s High pupils bid to banish bigotry

The event, held at Lanark Racecourse, saw S2 and S3 pupils take part in matches refereed by senior pupils.

Annyse Ewing, from Lanark Grammar, said: “Lanark Grammar School is working towards Nil By Mouth’s Anti-sectarian Accreditation.

“David Scott, campaign director of Nil By Mouth, gave a short talk to the pupils about the importance of tackling sectarianism.

“He reminded pupils that the charity, Nil By Mouth was started almost ten years ago by Cara Henderson, a young girl who was shocked by the death of her friend, Mark Scott – the victim of a sectarian murder.”
