Moniack Mhor is keen to make its facility available to as many schools as possible and is working hard to promote and extend this area. 

For the last few years all schools in the Highlands have been sent letters in June offering their Advanced Higher pupils the opportunity to come on a course in the autumn.  These courses have invariably proved themselves inspirational, and we are now reaching out to an even wider range both of schools and of age range of students.

Last year Advanced Higher pupils from the following schools attended the Highland Schools courses:

• Dingwall Academy
• Gairloch High school
• Tain Academy
• Nairn High School
• Millburn Academy
• Alness Academy
• Granton–on-Spey Grammar
• Glen Urquhart High School
• Inverness Royal Academy
• Fortrose Academy 

The following is a quote from Bill Duncan who has attended Moniack Mhor in many guises.

• “This was my first ‘week’ course as a tutor, after having been here twice as guest reader.  Seven years ago I attended a course as a teacher, accompanying a group of students.  The following year I was able to attend as a teacher interested in writing.  As a result of these Moniack experiences I was smitten by the desire to write.  Having now been widely published, with a book out by Bloomsbury, I’m utterly convinced of the value of your courses, and am, understandably, an advocate of their value.”
