Dear Dalreoch Primary School,

Now that the Robert theBruceHeritage Centre is now formally open it is time to congratulate everyone in making this possible.
Hanging pride of place was our stags head and the paintings you sent us depicting King Robert and William Wallace. Also on our table in the Heritage Centre adorns our visitor’s book kindly donated by Dalreoch Primary School and at this moment in time is filling up nice with visitors signatures.

Once again we must inform you of our closeness with Dalreoch Primary because of the King Robert the Bruce connection. Your school is at the heart of King Robert’s Royal lands and in our eyes that makes your school very important to us. You are situated between Dumbarton Castle and the Kings manor house at the River Leven so you have the best vantage point of any school in Scotland for history.

On our visits we have been amazed at the children’s interest and passion on medieval life and your knowledge has impressed us very much. Usually when we go to visit schools we have to inform the children of Scotland’s history but you surprised us all with your great questions as you have obviously studied this in great detail. We noticed on your walls too paintings of knights and Scottish ags (Saltires) which made us feel very very welcome. It was a great pleasure in meeting you all and hopefully soon we can come visit the class again and swap stories on medieval life.

On behalf of the Strathleven Artizans thank you very much for your wonderful donations for our centre and don’t forget the Centre is open every day if you wish to view your stags head, paintings or just wish to sign our new visitors book, then you are more than welcome. We are very proud of our Centre and hope your school is equally proud in playing a part in our opening day.

Our Patron Lord and Lady Elgin have commented on your donations and are very pleased of the interest and contribution from your school and send their respects and wishes to you all. Well done Dalreoch Primary School!!

We will in due course repeat this letter on our web site for all to see.

Kind regards,

Paul Hunter (Secretary)
Strathleven Artizans
