The Cloister - Recollections |

Thank you to Jan Still, a former pupil of St Margaret's convent, for sending me her recollections of: - and (below) the Cloister Jan wrote: |

The Cloister "We called this area The Cloister. There were Classrooms on the left. At the bottom, just before the Stairs to the Museum Hall was the Refectory. The Cloister was, in our time, tiled forming a Pattern. As 'Regulation' Shoes were leather-soled, it was great to take a run and slide down, the objective being to get the longest slide! Needless to say this did not go down well with the Nuns." Jan Still, Edinburgh, June 3, 2008 |
