First Pope in Scotland

I was pleased to see the programme the First Pope in Scotland on BBC1 on Sunday. It was good to see members of the congregation at St Joseph's in the West End take part in the programme and to see their films about Pope John Paul II's visit to Bellahouston Park in 1982. The programme can be found on the BBC's iPlayer here. I was in Bellahouston in 1982 and it certainly brought back some memories for me. Pupils from St Ninian's Primary in Menzieshill will take part in the St Ninian's Day parade in Edinburgh in honour of Pope Benedict's visit. Many of St Ninian's pupils live in the West End ward and I would like to wish them all the very best for tomorrow I am sure that they will be a credit to themselves, their families and their school.
