Artist's Description
This quaint little white washed cottage, now a listed building, served as the first school in the village of Currie (now part of the City of Edinburgh, Scotland).
In 1698 the Heritors of Currie Kirk paid for a new school as, prior to 1691 the Schoolmaster (who was also precentor and Session Clerk), taught children first of all in a chamber, a barn and the church quire.
The foundation stone was laid in 1699 and the masons were John Grinton and Robert Telford Wright, and it served as both school and schoolhouse until 1800.
It then became a girl's school sponsored by Lady Gibson Craig of Riccarton.
The building also served twice as the Post Office. In the early 1960’s it was part of the premises of James M Swan an Agricultural Implement Agent.
It is now a private house.
About Yvonne Johnstone
Welcome! I am an Artist/Photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. My interests are wide and varied and this is reflected in my subject matter. I enjoy finding the beauty in even the most mundane subjects and the challenge of depicting the small details which are sometimes overlooked. Where possible, I research my subjects to give me a better understanding, which in turn allows me to adapt my approach to each one. I do not restrict myself to any particular style or media as this gives me the freedom to create my vision on each individual piece. I hope you enjoy browsing my galleries as much as I have enjoyed creating the works. Copyright © Yvonne Johnstone 2024. All rights reserved. All artwork in this gallery is original and uniquely...
