“Colditz in kilts” was how King Charles described his experience at Gordonstoun, comparing his Scottish boarding school to the famous Nazi camp for prisoners of war.

In Gordonstoun, it was school policy to leave them open, even in winter — pupils would wake up in the morning with snow on their blankets.
