Author visits Clydebank primary school for World Book Day

Katie Lorna McMillan, the author behind the Haggis MacDougall series, visited Whitecrook Primary ELCC to read a few of her stories.

Along with her books, she brought along Betty the dinosaur, Betty’s dino egg, and dinosaur bones to inspire the children's imaginations.

In preparation for her visit, the children created their very own Haggis MacDougall story, Haggis MacDougall Visits Australia, which they proudly shared with Katie.

One child even came to nursery dressed as the main character Haggis, who is very popular with the kids.

One child said: "It was so much fun to have a big author read us her stories."

Another added: "I can’t believe that is the lady who writes all they words."
