The event, which took place on Saturday, also included a book fair, and attracted customers of all ages to enjoy a cup of tea, a biscuit and a chat with friends.
Proceeds from the coffee morning will go towards helping Laura Macmillan, a teacher at Garscadden Primary, attend an exchange trip in Malawi later this year.
The 30-year-old has been chosen along with 12 other educators to undertake the trip, which will see her spend five weeks in the African country.
Talking to the Post, she said: “I don’t think it will be the easiest thing in the world, the class size is about 200 and they are all different ages but it’s difficult to imagine what it will be like out there.
“I’m nervous about going to work in a hot country, I’ve got red hair and white skin. We’re going out there for five weeks which is a long time and I’m going with 11 complete strangers. In Malawi they have their own language as well.
“We are so used to having a photocopier and computers to help us with lessons and they don’t have these things and their class sizes are enormous.”
