Ken, The school closed in 1973 after 113 years. It became an outdoor centre (scouts) in 1980, and was put up for sale last year. It's a lovely building in a wonderful setting and should be on anyone's agenda if they are visiting the area.
By the way, the head-mistress from 1913 - 1946 was Frances Foster Young ; she was the daughter of the Rev. Andrew McLaren Young who was minister of the Relief/Laich kirk ( St. Columba's ) at Southend from 1874 to 1913.
