Claire Smith reports in Scotsman:
THREE years ago, teachers and pupils from Grantown Grammar went on a trip which had a profound influence on them and the school.
Eight pupils and two teachers travelled to Beijing to take part in a three-week language and culture course run by the British Council which for many of them began a fascination with all things Chinese.
Today, visitors are often surprised to see examples of Chinese calligraphy on the walls – and to learn this small school is one of the first in the UK to offer a chance to learn basic Mandarin.
