Tales from Heriot's

The Serbian Boys in 1916

February 24, 2022 • George Heriot's School • Season 2 • Episode 2

This episode recounts a very prominent time in the school’s history and explores when Serbian boys were gifted an education at Heriot’s in 1916.

Allow Zack Hassan (2012) to take you on a journey back to the early 1900s as he recounts the experiences of two Serbian refugees - Djordje Osmanbegovitch and Slvetomir Marianovitch as they travelled to Edinburgh to start their education at Heriot’s.
