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.
Welcome! I am an Artist/Photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. My interests are wide and varied and this is reflected in my subject matter.
