Statement of Interest

The school was built as a Free Church School, and forms a B group with Muirhead School (Later Building), The Old School House 147 Coupar Angus Road, Lundie and Muirhead Church, and Lundie and Muirhead War Memorial. The Mr Paterson referred to in the Minutes of 11th May 1846 is probably William Paterson, noted as an architect in the DUNDEE DIRECTORY for 1850.
