Whiteford Welcomes Macduff Youngsters to Westminster

Pupils from Macduff Primary School enjoyed a rare tour around the Palace of Westminster on Wednesday, as part of a school trip to London organised by teacher Mr Gordon McKay.

The youngsters, from Primary 6 and 7, were shown around the historic buildings by Banff & Buchan MP Dr Eilidh Whiteford, who helped facilitate the visit and greeted the party on their arrival.

Speaking afterwards, Dr Whiteford said:

“It was a real pleasure to meet again with pupils from my old school, who so impressed me when I visited Macduff Primary earlier this year. I do hope the youngsters have enjoyed their time at Westminster, and have made the most of their trip to London.

“Parliament is a fascinating place, and I am always very pleased when school groups take the opportunity to visit. There’s much to see and do, and it’s a great educational experience for pupils learning how decisions made here affect their day to day lives.”
