Cauldshiels is the name of the boarding school in Scotland that Esme is sent to. She is sent there because Ditte believes it will provide her with the type of education a girl of her station will need as an adult. Not much is known by anyone about her time there. The environment is stifling, and she is not allowed to send home her real thoughts and experiences in her letters to her father and Ditte.
