My kids are well rounded and intelligent teenagers and adults because of the excellent education they received at public schools in Glasgow.

Angie Connor Private schools should not be classified as charities as they are only for the people who can afford it.

Terry Walls

Not necessarily. Many have scholarships. They also pay through taxes for state schools. Thus parents who choose to pay for education are relieving pressure on the state system whilst still paying for the education of their own children.

Alison M Fraser Smith

When they allowed parents the choice of school their child could attend instead of their district school was the downfall of the education system. Parents moving house so their child can attend a chosen school – money talks for sure.

Liz Campbell Reservations have opened for stays on the five-star floating hotel MV Fingal in Leith. Guest will be able to enjoy their own private deck and plush cabin – at the price of £1500 a night.

For £1500 a night I would be looking for some of the benefits of sailing in international waters – like shooting a pirate or eating a mermaid.

It’s Leith, not Monaco.

Harry Queensferry

I’ll stick to the Balmoral.

Ron Valentine

Go and see it – I have and it’s amazing. Yes the £1500 a night for the suite is out of reach for many of us, but the decor, ambience and the amazing staff are on par with top five-star hotel.
