history
Since there are two schools with the same name, it is unclear in the literature whether the school building was built in the late 17th or early 18th century. Either it is a school described in 1791, whose teachers had a house with a garden at their disposal and in which between 40 and 50 students were taught, or the school was described in 1845 as one of two non-financed schools in the region that were im early 19th century near the industrial mills had sprung up. It is interesting that the school building was used as the church of the United Free Church of Scotland from 1929 until the 1980s .
