THE NATIONAL TRUST FOR SCOTLAND
Carol was commissioned to design, write a Storyline and provide staff development for each of these properties: The purpose of the Storyline was to help bring each of the fascinating properties alive to learners and link them closely to the key principles of learning and teaching in Curriculum for Excellence and the Storyline Approach. Carol said ‘It was a real privilege for me to be able to visit, meet and work with so many knowledgeable people who care so passionately about their particular property and the wonderful history associated with it. In the case of Bannockburn, it was very exciting to see how the use of technology is helping create such wonderful experiences for all who visit’.

TREES FOR LIFE
Carol was invited by Joyce Gilbert to write Storyline materials for the ‘Rewilding the Highlands’ project organised by the conservation charity Trees for Life. The project involved around 300 pupils in Cannich, Balnain, Drumnadrochit, Fort Augustus and Invergarry. The schools were learning, first-hand about native woodlands and rewilding through an exciting new project that combined storytelling, folklore, history, geography, poetry, art and craft and song.
"This is an exciting collaboration in which teachers and pupils are working together to discover more about our precious native woodlands and the importance of restoring Scotland’s ancient Caledonian Forest".
