Being so close to the border, Dumfries has had a history of conflict but the bridges of the town tell a different story, one of uniting communities old and new.
The bridges also reflect the story of transport; from the pedestrian and horse traffic of the Middle Ages, through the growth of cars in the 20th century, to today’s need to reduce pollution and reliance on fossil fuels and focus on more active ways of travelling.
On this self-led walk through the town centre bridges you’ll learn about the engineering behind them and see things you may never have noticed before.
We are delighted to once again be collaborating with Twinkl Scotland, who have produced a range of new free resources for this year's Wild Maths theme.
Early, First and Second Level have each received resources relating to Drummond Safari Park and to the topic of weather, linking to and informed by Curriculum for Excellence, which support teaching and learning maths.
Finn Finity and the Wild Maths Zoo Adventure is an interactive story that you can read together with your class or as a family. It incorporates maths puzzles and activities, that you solve as you read.
