Old Photograph Kintyre Technical College Scotland
Old photograph of Kintyre Technical College in Southend near Campbeltown, Argyll, Scotland. After a fire destroyed the original building in Southend it was relocated and opened in Dumbarton as Keil School in 1925. In 1941, due to the school's high vulnerability during the Clydeside Blitz, including the destruction of nearby industrial centres such as Clydebank, only 16 buildings were left undamaged, and conflagrations at the Bowling Oil Refinery and the Tate and Lyle Sugar Refinery at Greenock by Glasgow, the school had to be evacuated and relocated in the safer surroundings of Balinakill House, Kintyre for the duration of the war. Keil School closed in July 2000.
