Top class: A former Carlisle man has been awarded a doctorate by the University of Stirling. Philip Simpson, who used to go to school at Creighton, Margaret Sewell and Trinity, has been working in outdoor education in Scotland for the last 25 years. He had been a biology teacher in Warwickshire and Cheshire. Phil said: “I am still teaching in one form or another. It is just the classroom that has changed. I also seem to spend a lot of time in an office.” He is pictured with his wife Rosemary at the graduation ceremony
