Once, as a Learning Support Teacher, I made my way down to theannexe that housed the school's History Department. The annexe was about metres from the main school building,down an attractive, leafy hill. On the way I was irked by two girls in front of me complainingabout the hill, the wind ruffling their hair, the distance fromone classroom to another, and so on.I joined the History class with the moans and groans stillringing in my ears. However, the topic of the lesson soongripped me: Life in Thirteenth Century Scotland. The ordinary people in those days lived in squalid huts, unlikethe nobles with their heavily fortified castles. But even theyfaced many challenges. Fighting was a way of life and the fearof attack preoccupied everyone. In the cold, draughty, disease-ridden castles people who livedto forty were considered old.
