Descendants of the founder of the first primary school in Crossgar visit Glasswater
On Wednesday, we were delighted to welcome Councillor Callum Bowsie to our school, accompanied by Rev. Dr. Heather Walker from First Kilmore (Rademon) Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church. They were joined by Eric and Toni, who were visiting from the United States.
Eric and Toni are descendants of Rev. Neilson of Rademon Church, who founded Crossgar Primary School in 1826. Our P5/6 class has been learning about the history of Crossgar, and Councillor Bowsie had previously shared his knowledge about the very first school in the area during a visit to speak with the pupils.
It was a pleasure to meet the descendants of the man who established the first primary school in Crossgar and to bring history to life for our pupils.
