Tarbert Primary School and Schoolhouse, Ross & Macbeth, 1896 School complex, nicely grouped amidst the respectable villas of West Tarbert. With its round-headed lancets under wide gables, it is more typical of Ross's work than the humbler island schools he designed for Inverness County Council in the 1870s.

Archaeological Evaluation (28 July 2009 - 4 August 2009)
NB 5165 3290 Bayble Primary School, Bayble
NB 1495 0030 Sir E Scott School, Tarbert
NB 3599 4847 West Side Primary School, Barvas
Evaluations were carried out between 28 July–4 August 2009 prior to proposed redevelopment and construction at three existing school sites on the Isle of Lewis. The 10% sample evaluations consisted of the excavation of 17 trenches covering an area of 1000m² at Bayble; six trenches covering an area of 130m² at Tarbert; and 21 trenches covering an area of 3200m² at Barvas. The evaluations identified the fragmentary remains of a possible shieling at Barvas, but no other features or artefacts of archaeological significance.
