Passport To Kelso

Kelso High School

Producer David Stenhouse has invited me to attend the big count in Kelso High School next month. That's when school pupils will decide whether or not to abandon their . It would mean lowering their new flag, ditching their own national anthem and saying goodbye to their own currency - the Kelso Bawbee.

It also means that the school's Rector, Charles Robertson, would lose his grip on power - apart from the usual stuff about running a school etc.

It's all part of our SoundTown project in the Borders. Pupils have been learning about the Act of Union in 1707 and it was David Stenhouse who suggested this would be a way to engage the entire school in the project. He's also producing a special programme about the experiment - Passport to Kelso - which you'll be able to hear later in the month.

The vote itself takes place on the 15th March and I'm told some of Scotland's real-life politicians are waiting anxiously for the result, just in case it sets a trend.

This is an election year after all.
