A wee question

by Happy Bunny 23 June

My family are new to Kilbirnie and we have been told that the area we live in used to be where a school was sited (Ladyland School). Does anyone have pictures and info about the school and when it was demolished etc, would love to teach my grandchildren about the area as they are due to start school soon.

Hi Happy Bunny,

Ladyland School was built in 1849 at approx £112. It was the Parish School taking its name from Ladyland Barony. Mr Fulton was headmaster with one assistant teacher and four pupil teachers.Subjects; reading, spelling, writing, arithmetic, grammer, geography, British history, latin, french, drawing, bookkeeping and sewing. Will post picture when scanner is back working.

Hope this gives you a start to your project. Elizabeth Steele

Memories, Nostalgia & History

History doesn't have to be in black & white

Your memory of a local character or a school photo from the last ten years can be just as interesting as wars and Victorians.
