New courses at college

Newbattle Abbey College has announced a number of new short courses for its autumn and winter programme.

New courses include Scots Gaelic classes and an eight-week family history course. And for something different, there is a new beekeeping course where students will learn about taking care of honey bees, setting up a hive and even how to harvest their own honey.

An open evening will be held on Thursday, September 8 at 7pm.
