Kiltearn Public School
« on: Wednesday 18 August 10 14:34 BST (UK) »
Hi

Would anybody know of any information on this school, I know it was pulled down and the present Kiltearn Primary School stands there now. I have been searching for any info on the school and school registers, they just dont seem to exist.

Would appreciate any thoughts on this you may have.


Thanks in advance

Hi

Thanks for responding, I was told by the Museum of Childhood in Dingwall that the school before it was pulled down sat on the playing fields of the school that is called Kiltearn Primary. They had a copy of my Grandfathers prize book there.

Sorry I cant be of any more help

Good Hunting !

Alness heritage centre may be able to help:
http://www.alness.com/Alness-Heritage-Centre-g.asp

they say that they had a recent exhibition on 'School Days in the Early 20th Century and they are the closest town...

hope this helps a little :)

kind regards,
