Directors of Studies: John Begg
Mentioned in a pupil testimony when Mr. Begg left Merchiston to work at Fettes College in 1979: “Mr Collins was the house tutor initially and then we had another guy, Mr Begg, who came from Merchiston [in 1979] where he had been a teacher [from 1972-1979]. He participated in a few sports. He was a typical publicly educated young man. He loved himself and women. He wasn’t interested in the boys. He was a ladies-man and was always well dressed. He had a flash MG Midget. That was his car and he parked it away from the leaves. He had dark hair.”—”Max (PTP)”, a Fettes College pupil who began in 1973, from his Witness Statement to SCAI (19 April 2021)
