Is this Tayvallich School?

[HOUSE2000]

This school photo was taken about 1919-21. It was possibly taken at Tayvallich School. Is anyone able to confirm this by the background or by recognising any of the pupils/teacher in the photo? Thank you.

Do you have any names/ages of people you think could be/are in the photo which may jog memories with others?

My Uncle James (Jim) Colquhoun who was born in March 1914 in Dunbartonshire is in the front row on the right. The family lived at Scotnish Farm for a short time where my Grandfather was farm manager. I know they were in the farm in October 1918 as my Mum was born there. My Uncle did go Tayvallich School (this may not be the correct name of the school) I know they had moved away from the area by 1921. I'm not sure what age my Uncle looks in the photo. If he is eight or older then the photo wasn't taken at Tayvallich as they had moved away from the area by that time. Thank you.

Sorry, I can't find a photo of the school.

I wonder if it was a "Sunday School" photo at the Church of Scotland.....

The shape of the window in the background of your photo is the same shape as the window here on the church....just a thought?

Looking at this photo......the addition to the right, looks similar to your photo but opposite side i.e. the photo may have been taken at the back of the church?

The dimensions of the windows look same too.

Thank you Rosinish. Yes it's possible the photo was taken at the church - the background looks similar. I know my Mum was baptised  in that church in 1919 by D. Lamont. What age do you think my Uncle is in the photo? Thank you.

A couple of better photos of the church....

I'm not great with ages but looking at the height of the children against the teacher & their not so "baby" faces, I would say 7/8 yrs old but I'm going by looking at my own g/son who's 7 yrs.

I thought about 7 too.
