Caroline attended Mary Erskine’s from 1980 and left in the class of ’93 going on to Aberdeen University.

Caroline joined the FP Guild Committee because she would like to help run events and encourage more FP’s in her age group to attend. In Caroline’s spare time she likes cooking, reading, walking, playing violin, ice skating, socialising, skiing, sailing and her main passion is travelling.

In Fiona's spare time, she enjoys socialising, skiing, singing, all things French.
