Old Photograph School Inverallochy Scotland

Old photograph of the school in Inverallochy located four miles East of Fraserburgh, Scotland. Inverallochy School was established in 1841 as a 36 × 20 feet building that seated 88 scholars. Increased attendance demanded further funding in 1866 to seat 130 scholars and 240 in 1872. It finally reopened in 1965 after a substantial extension to include eight new classrooms, general purpose room, a school meal scullery, an assembly hall, gymnasium and art room. The eight old classrooms were turned into homecraft rooms with housewifery area, science rooms and library. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
