Swapping the stable and the castle ruins for a suburban street in Edinburgh, we set about settling in for this new chapter in our lives.It was a big change, but also hugely exciting for two young lads like Cirdan and me. I had just finished at my little primary school, so I started high school at the same time as all my new classmates.It was a little overwhelming to begin with, but since I could now see without the dreaded glasses, I soon started to make friends and feel comfortable in a crowd.”
The 12-year-old Heughan attended James Gillespie's High School, which he recalls as having “very strong on rules and discipline”.He also remembers a run-in with the school’s head teacher, after an incident involving a carton of milk.Heughan writes: “On one occasion, I came very close to getting into trouble from the top.At the time, I had just been made a school prefect... The incident began with a milk carton. I had been tasked with helping to dish them out at break time to pupils who were part of a milk-in-schools scheme.
