As part of the SG Administration Course I asked one of my classes to come up with their favourite top ten of places of interest in Scotland.
1. Loch Ness
2. Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh
3. Loch Lomond
4. Wallace Monument, Stirling
5. David Livingstone Centre, Blantyre
6. Hampden Park, Glasgow
7. Stirling Castle
8. Cairngorms
9. Blair Drummond Safari Park
10. St Andrew's Old Course
I was quite surprised with some of the landmarks, though it has to be remembered that perhaps pupils in Hamilton would have a different perspective on things than pupils in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Dundee, Aberdeen, Ayr, Inverness etc. For example, the David Livingstone Centre in Blantyre may not get as high a placing from pupils in Thurso, Ullapool, Stranraer or Dumfries.
I suppose it was inevitable that Loch Ness would come up as number one!
If you can think of any omissions please post a comment. I will try and discover the real top ten in terms of official visitors.
