Inverasdale Primary School

In 2012 Inverasdale Primary School was "mothballed" after service to the community of upwards of 130 years.[3]

In 2015 it was announced that Inverasdale Primary School would close permanently due to a shortage of pupils.[4]

The old school building is currently the temporary home of the Arctic Convoys exhibition.[5][6]
