I loved my time at Stirling. I was a founder of the Drama Society, performing in plays including Huis Clos and Luther. I regularly follow the advice of the Principal, Tom Cottrell, who told us that the key to learning was not just reading books, it was finding the relevant part of the book and reading that carefully. While I was there the Campus grew from one building in 1967 to a busy arts centre and residential area, incorporating the wonderful Aithrey Castle into its daily life.
