ARROCHAR PRIMARY SCHOOL, TARBET 1900-1950
There has always been a
school at the site of Clattoch Mhor from 1767. First record of school
teacher appears in 1801 when Donald Dewar signed the declaration of
faith. He was followed in 1844 by his son A.J.Dewar who taught up until
the late 1890’s when Mr. Grierson became head master. Our first
photograph is 1905 and we have many photographs from
most years following this. The school is still open to this day and on
the same site.
IT is thought that
Arrochar Primary School is one of the oldest schools in the West of
Scotland that has remained on
the same location throughout it's history. Our pictures here start at
1950 and work back to 1905.
