Full Description

The western of two single storey and attic 3-bay schoolhouses flanking either end of a later 19th century single storey school, probably by Alexander Ross. A full architectural description is available in Historic Scotland's listed building record (see link to web page). Coped rubble garden walls enclose the schoolhouses, with paired gates with cast-iron spearhead railings and slender octagonal cast iron gate piers matching those at the school. <1>

Photographs of this school and the western schoolhouse were submitted to the HER in May 2009 in connection with a planning application for conversion. Information submitted by the architect states that the roof is of Ballachulish slate with lead ridging, valleys etc. Stone walls to the south elevation are formed with (probably) hopeman tooled ashlar stone quoins and rybats and with tarradle square random rubble infill. The stone walls to the north elevation have quoins etc as above but with sneck harled random rubble infill. The pointing is generally lime based but with some recent cement repairs. Blind trefoil vents are located on both north and south elevations. Sash and case widnows with pointed arches are standard with some rectangular windows on the north elevation. The cast iron railings are generally in need of repair. <2>
