 Police have been informed of the incident at the school |
Two pupils have been suspended from one of Scotland's top private schools after being found in possession of cannabis. The boys - one aged 15, the other 17 - were discovered with the drug at Fettes college whose former students include Tony Blair.
Headteacher Michael Spens confirmed that parents of both the boys had been notified of the decision.
He said: "The school's policy towards drugs and drug taking on the premises is widely known and unequivocal - anyone found with them in their possession is liable to expulsion."
He also confirmed that the school has informed Lothian and Borders Police of the incident.
It is not the first time pupils have been caught with cannabis at the �11,000-a-year institution.
Three sixth-form pupils were expelled from the exclusive school last year after being found to have taken the drug.
One failed a drug test while on a business studies trip to Belgium.
Two others were found to be in possession of a small bag of cannabis and cigarette papers following a school club disco.
