Castle welcomes ex-music student after absence of fifty years

The 16th April 2008 saw a visitor to Castle Toward from New Hampshire in America, Gerarldine Tobin nee Montgomery had not visited the Castle since 1958 when she attended Holyrood Secondary School and came to Castle Toward with the Glasgow Schools Orchestra.

Although she originally played the violin, Gerarldine now plays Harp. Gerarldine made the decision to return to the castle after a fifty year absence after bumping into Eddy McGuire at the 27th Edinburgh Harp Festival, who suggested she come across to the Castle.

Please watch out for photos, programmes and the such like which we will be posting for Gerarldine on the web site. Should anyone else have similar material, please contact Bonita Ellmore, Head of Centre on 01369 870 249.
