Primary school of three different periods. The oldest, furthest to the E, is a late Victorian school depicted on the OS 25-inch scale map of 1902, with next W, a pitched roof extension of mid-20th century date and a flat roofed 1960s-1970s block to the W.
Watching Brief (22 April 2010 - 19 August 2010)
NO 5581 3447 A watching brief was undertaken, during seven visits between 22 April–19 August 2010, on the machine removal of the foundations of five school blocks and topsoil stripping of four small grassed areas. The clearance of the Kinloch Primary School complex was being undertaken prior to the development of a care home. The area was considered sensitive due to the detection of a number of cist burials in the vicinity during the 19th and 20th centuries, and the discovery in 1810 of 30 long cist burials in Dundee Street, just outside the NE corner of the development area. No features or finds of archaeological significance were recorded.
