Although records show that a school was opened in Cranshaws in 1696, this building is thought to date from the early 19th century. Today, despite the erection of a further school building during the 1960s the original schoolmaster's house and classroom remain relatively intact. The Valuation Roll notes a Mr James Brown as schoolmaster in 1855.
