The family moved from Leith and their eldest child got a place at Pennywell School. They had wanted to send them to Craigmuir but couldn't get in so went for Wardie as it is closer than Pennywell. If Silverknowes had been open they would have gone there. Their youngest child is at Silverknowes as they did not settle at Wardie. If their children don't get into Trinity they would rather they completed their schooling at Ainslie Park as opposed to going for a few years and then transferring to Leith Academy which some children do. If they could do what they liked they would send their children to Edinburgh Academy as they are impressed by their self-confidence and poise. Male INTVEE is an electrician but does not want his son to be a manual worker, he thinks they are controlled. INTVEEs are vocal about the low standards of Muirhouse in planning and the way in which the inhabitants keep it. They have previously lived in Lapicide Place and there you could spend the afternoon with friends touring the shops, half the people were related or knew each other very well. They deplore the lack of shops in Muirhouse. They think more pride was taken in the stair in Leith – there was no chalking on walls or children wetting in the stair. Noise was not as much of a problem in Leith. They like their house – it is warm and comfortable and spacious. They blame the council for the dreariness of the district and the lack of amenities. They think the council should not have left patches of grass at the junction of roads which have become derelict mud patches. Female INVTEE went to David Kilpatrick's and won a bursary to Leith Academy but didn't go.
