Glencoe Primary School Balance Trail

What happens to the money we raise through the touting of raffle tickets on a Saturday night?


Last year, Clachaig customers raised £1152 to help Glencoe Primary School install a balance trail. We were very pleased to be invited to the grand opening at the school last Friday.

Mr Robert Flemming, who also contributed generously (think Glen Etive estate and merchant banks), cut the ribbon in front of some excited kids and a photographer from The Oban Times.


After the trail was officially opened the children wasted no time and were to hanging, jumping and swinging from the various objects. It turned out that they sneaked in some practice as the trail had been (unofficially) in use for a little over a week.

It was good to see the Balance Trail finally erected and so popular with the youngsters. The Clachaig was presented with a ‘Thank you’ plate made by Jade Lear, one of the obviously very artistic pupils there, and this will find a good place on the wall at Reception.
