Multi-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows. Grey slates. Coped brick stacks. Ashlar-coped skews. Square-section gutters and cast-iron downpipes.

ANCILLARY BUILDINGS: 2 slated and piended brick playsheds with cast-iron columns. That to SW with cast-iron water fountain (not working) stamped 'GLENFIELD & KENNEDY KILMARNOCK'.

Statement of Interest

Formerly Errol Public School, becoming the Infant Department in 1964 and Errol Primary School in 1971. As the 'Dux Medallists' board dates from 1925 it is reasonable to date the building from this.
