Secondary school pupils have created a comic which shares some of the unique historical stories of Scotland’s oldest Highland regiment.

For the past three months, a group of 30 Perth Grammar School pupils have been putting pen to paper and bringing history to life, detailing seven stories from within the city’s Black Watch Castle and Museum.

The finished product is a colourful 12-page comic book, which will be made available to visitors through the summer holidays.

First year pupil Holly Harrold told STV News: “We started off by getting a sheet of questions, and we went through them on our phones and laptops and researched (the story).

“Then we sketched out a base idea on some plain paper, then wrote what we were going to say about it.”

The collaboration between the museum, school and developing the young workforce has been described as “groundbreaking”.

Funded by Museum Galleries Scotland, the partnership is aimed at inspiring the next generation of heritage enthusiasts.
