Description

James Maclaren 1853. Tudor, asymmetrical composition,
single-storey schoolroom with porch and bellcote,
single-storey and attic L-plan school-house, mullioned and
transomed windows. Later additions to rear in simplified

Statement of Interest

other early Forfar district schools the East townend by

George Milne of Arbroath (plain Italian 1844) survives; the

west also by Milne (1843) has been demolished.
