Kilgraston Cross Country 2023
The Kilgraston Cross Country 2023 took place with the school’s stunning countryside campus drenched in late summer sunshine and a cloudless sky.
This annual event sees all pupils take part with runners from our youngest class, Reception, lining up alongside the oldest Upper Sixth pupils. Following an energetic warm-up with PE’s Mrs Fraser, pupils lined up with the start line a sea of House colours. Vibrant yellows, roaring reds, proud purples and glorious greens took their positions and on Mrs Davie’s signal, they were off.
The event takes place around Kilgraston’s beautiful countryside campus with staff manning key markers on the route and parents, grandparents, guardians and family members cheering on the runners. It all about having fun, an intrinsic part of the Kilgraston ethos, and winning valuable house points, if you can. It is a sentiment which is well-embraced by Kilgraston Sixth Form who, each year, dress up in costumes to run.
It was a glorious day and a wonderful first whole school event for this academic year, 2023 - 2024. Well done to everyone who took part and thank you to those who helped and who attended, cheering on the runners.

Kilgraston Cross Country 2022
We were delighted to welcome back our parents to support the Whole School Interhouse Cross Country event on Tuesday after an absence of spectators of three years. We enjoyed super weather and the course took all pupils from the Reception class to Upper Sixth around the beautiful campus here at Kilgraston.
We had an array of outfits from a green monster to an inflatable donkey as well as our competitive runners – it’s true to say everyone had fun! We had runners from all parts of the Kilgraston family and congratulations to Mr N Campbell who won the staff race.
The four houses of Inchcolm, Arran, Moncreiffe and Kinnoull battled for points in each age group with everyone who took part getting participation points too! The results are:
Whole School
1st Lexie Upper Sixth (Arran), 2nd Ishbel Upper Four (Kinnoull), 3rd Carlota Upper Four (Inchcolm).
Thank you to everyone for making the event such a success.
