A great afternoon at @BisleyShooting Braidwood for our pupil v parent match. Great location, great shooting and great craic! @MerchiNews

We are incredibly fortunate to enjoy such varied and delicious menus from @MerchiFood. If it’s true that an army marches on its stomach, these boys will just keep going and going! #food #goodfood #nutrition

We are delighted to introduce our new piping teacher, Mr Warren, who, it is fair to say, has a pretty impressive piping pedigree: kylewarrenbagpipes.com #piping #bagpipes #pipeband
