"Having not been at such a big school before, I wasn't at all sure what to expect but I needn't have worried about anything because everyone in MacLeod was so friendly; all the girls look after one another making you feel extremely comfortable and at home. You soon settle in to the routine of lessons and especially the routine of tea and toast."
Harriet Ward, MacLeod House
