Congratulations to Fettes groundsmen George and Kevin McNab who have won the Unsung Hero Award in the prestigious Tatler Schools Award 2026. The twin brothers joined Fettes on the same day over 40 years ago, in January 1985, when they were only 16.

The Award Ceremony took place in London on Monday 29th September, where George and Kevin were joined by their wives Heather and Pam/.

The Unsung Heroes Award category shines a spotlight on individuals whose work is totally invaluable to a school and makes a lasting difference behind the scenes.

Peter Worlledge, Bursar and Head of Operational Staff at Fettes said: “Everyone at Fettes is delighted for George and Kevin – now nicknamed our ‘Tatler Twins’! - They are pillars of our school community, who have spent over four decades going the extra mile for students and staff alike. Their dedication, care and humour have shaped Fettes in countless ways over the past 40 years and their contributions to our school are innumerable. This award is a fitting recognition of everything they have done for generations of students and staff."

We were also thrilled to be included in the Tatler Schools Guide feature in the Daily Mail: “The best schools in Britain revealed: Tatler releases ultimate guide to the top place for your child to get a ‘whole package’ education”– and Fettes was one of only two schools in Scotland to be included in this feature.
