The original Grammar School stood in the Sandgate and beside it, forming part of the same building, was the Sang Schule (Carrick, 1913, 52). The old school had been allowed to decay and when the Auld Kirk was built the Grammar School was transferred to a site nearby. In the seventeenth century the Grammar School was re-established in the Sandgate near its old quarters at the head of the School Vennel (Carrick, 1913, 52). An academy was opened in the late eighteenth century, teaching a wide variety of subjects.
