The Heilanman’s umbrella is a famous land mark in the center of Glasgow.

It is the local nickname for the glass walled railway bridge which carries the platforms of Glasgow  central station across argyle street .

With the city’s stormy weather and the meeting of the Highlanders it came to be known as the Hielanman’s Umbrella.

In 1998 the bridge was refurbished by rail track. We got this picture from here

The Thistle

is a Scottish flower and if you touch it you may get a rash from the extremely spiky bits. The Thistle has been a Scottish flower for several years, also it has hair on the top that is really furry and soft.

It also has a stem that can grow really long.

If you go to  certain fields you see lots of Thistles.

Now we will tell you the story about the Thistle.

The Vikings were going to attack the Scottish but the Thistle saved the Scottish. 

Now I will tell you the full story.  

It all started at Stirling Castle . The guards were sleeping and there was a hole bunch of Thistles but they did not know what they were then. The Vikings were not wearing shoes and they started to walk across the Thistles to get to the gate , and because they weren’t wearing shoes the Thistles jagged them with their spikes and because it was so sore they screamed and woke up the guards and then the guards went and started to attack the Vikings.

That is why the Scots picked the Thistles .

  Our famous Scottish poet is Robert Burns.

Robert burns wrote many famous Scottish poems like To  a Mouse and A Man’s a Man For a’ That . Rachael brought this book in which has all his poems and songs.

Every January we celebrate the life of Robert Burns by learning Scottish poems. We have a competition with Carron Primary. In Primary six and seven it needs to be a Burns poem. Today we listened to some people on a website who read his poems.

We got to choose two of his poems to take home. Last year Carron Primary won, but we’ll try to win this time!

We’ll let you know.

Our Treasure  Trail Box

In our class we  have  a  point  system. Every  time a pupil gets 20 points, they get a reward out of our treasure box.  The box was empty but thankfully  lots of  very kind shops and the library gave us some items for it. For example the Co-op , Spar (Aleena’s mum’s shop) Tesco and the Library gave us some great items like pencils, pens, rubbers, rulers and lots more!  Also Melissa  ,  Chloe both gave things in. The whole class are writing letters to the shops to say thank you.  The  library gave us books  so we decided  that they are worth 40 points.  Most people have got to the 20 but others are still trying.

Here are some pics of it

Mary Queen Of Scots was born on the 8TH of December 1542 . She was also known  as  Mary Stuart  or Mary 1st of Scotland . We found this picture on flickr at  http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3450316006/

Mrs V remembers a nursery rhyme about her that she used to sing in school but she can’t remember all the words. It has “Mary Queen of Scots had her head chopped off” in it. If anyone knows the rest of the rhyme, please let us know what it is.

The Dunmore Pineapple is in Dunmore Park. It is said to be the “most bizarre building in Scotland”.

It is a summer house built in 1761. The prickly pineapple is 45 feet high.

There are 16 acres of gardens with an orchard and it has been restored by the National Trust for Scotland.

It can be rented as a holiday home!

Some people in our class have been there. We asked them what it was like and they all liked it.

Owen L has been inside it.  He was there with his mum and the rest of his family. He said that underneath it there are two sets of stairs but that’s all he remembers.

This is a picture of it. We didn’t take this picture. We got it from flickr. Here’s where we got it from

I chose E because of Edinburgh Castle. In 1312 Bruce’s nephew, lord Thomas randolph, set siege to Edinburgh Castle the siege went for a long time without success. I got this out of a book about Robert the Bruce. We learned about him when we were finding out about the Wars of Independence.

It was built on a volcano. .
