This school was opened to the pupils on April 9th 1877 and before that they used a tin shed positioned where the Bully Inn is now. The first recorded attendance at the tin school was in 1866, with the Headmaster being Mr. Alexander Lamont who left in August 1876 when Mr. Hugh Jack took over until 1889. Mr. William Marshall was head until 1920.
