AN AFRICAN school has adopted Oban High’s clan system, thanks to a link forged on What’sApp.
Mazozo Community Day Secondary School in Malawi now shares Oban’s four clans, named Ossian, Fingal, Diarmid and Somerled, which will also compete in its inter-clan sport contests.
Now, if a Malawian schoolpupil in Somerled wins a race 5,000 miles away in ‘the warm heart of Africa’, it will help that clan triumph in wintry Argyll, and vice versa.
