Year of 1960
The Rev MURDO GORDON, principal from 1960 to 1981 (the longest time in office of any of the principals), came from the Isle of Skye, off the west coastal Scotland. He spoke Gaelic as a child, not learning English until he was about 13. Murdo’s great love was Doctrine; he was a fine teacher and expositor of historic Protestantism, and was also known for his pastoral heart. Murdo’s wife, Margaret, now lives back in Scotland with her daughter while their children and grandchildren are scattered round the Peninsula and the UK.
