In 1963 as a little girl of ten I presented Mrs Frank Mackenzie Ross with a bouquet of flowers during the Freedom ceremoy.

I still have my book from Year VI, the "Col. The Hon. Frank M. Ross Prize for Mathematics". I didn't enjoy reading and didn't want a book as my prize but was told I had no choice when I was led into Margaret ?'s book-shop in Tain High Street. I remember seeing this gentleman during a school assembly but I can't recall which year - probably during his visit in 1963
