Orphanage/Boarding School puzzle

[avm228]

Death reg for Charlotte March qtr 1948 shows her as 54 (1894)

Consistent with birth Nov 1893 then.

But in 1901 Scotland I think she is a 12 year old adoptee in Dunblane.

Puzzled about Isabella shown as b 1913

If Jean was b Dec 1913 and Annie 1915 - Isabella must have been born end of 1914 or very early 1915 depending on what month Annie was born

Nothing on SP in Dunblane & Lecropt and that is where Annie’s birth was registered in 1915

If Charlotte married 1924 Heather was 16.  If the children were “sent for” as they reached 15yrs it suggests a school rather than an orphanage.

Annie was 9 when Charlotte remarried and the wording of this posts suggests she never saw her mother for 6 years??

After searching have come up with a Dean and Cauvin school at Craigleith, whether or not this is what I am looking or ?? will continue the search...thank you all for your replies (bit of a muddle)

The Dean Orphan Hospital was built above Dean Village in Edinburgh in 1833. A rather imposing building it was converted into the Dean Gallery in 1999. part of the Gallery of Modern Art. The late father of my ex was an inmate there when the family fell on hard times. He recalled the daily march down Orchard Brae to what is now Flora Stevensons Primary School, but which was a secondary school in his time. The area of Craigleith where I live is very close to it, so this is possibly what you are referring to ?
