Born in 1946 and brought up in Cupar, Fife, I was educated at the local school - 
Local MSP Stewart Stevenson urged primary schools across Banff & Buchan to take advantage of the Ordinance Survey’s free maps for 11-year-olds programme.
The scheme offers a map from the Explorer series to every primary seven pupil in Scotland. The map that is offered to each pupil is the particular edition which covers the area of their school. Local primary schools have until the end of October to apply, with the actual delivery of maps planned to take place before Christmas.
Mr Stevenson said:
“The OS maps for 11-year-olds programme is an excellent idea which can be very helpful in teaching children more about their local area, particularly about places and things of interest which they might otherwise pass by without noticing.
“The closing date for applications is Tuesday 31st October and schools can apply to the Ordinance Survey at Romsey Road, Southampton, SO16 4GU or by telephoning 08456 05 05 05.
“I believe that the scheme is an important aid in engendering a sense of pride in children about where they come from and I hope as many schools as are able will take up the offer of free maps.”
