The Police Station

The first Police Station was situated at the corner of Darngaber Road and Limekilnburn Road . The building was originally a private school and can be seen in the 1856 – 1954 maps of Darngaber/Quarter, but the building must have been demolished between 1954 and 1963. The Police Station had moved by 1914 to just across the road from the Church and was there up until 1976. Today there are two private houses where the Police Station was.

From the Quarter Public School log book the first Policeman mentioned in the village was Sergeant Blaney who in September 1880 was required to question the parents of a truant boy at the village school. In 1881 we have constables Andrew Watt and William G. Gunn living in Darngaber Rows Police Station. By 1921 Constables Alexander McRae and Neil Shaw had moved to the new Police Station and in 1925 we have Constables Peter Laing and William Riach. Other Policemen that have been mentioned are George Scott, Harry Robson, Jim McKenzie and the last Policeman at Quarter was Jim McDonald.
