This photo shows what remains on the site of what was Ferryden Infant School. Maria Georgina Ross (1804- 1839), of Rossie Castle, was the youngest of four children born to Hercules Ross and his wife Henrietta Parish. As part of Maria's philanthropic desire to help the fisher folk of Ferryden, particularly the mothers, she founded Ferryden Infant School in 1837. The school was one of the first of its kind in Scotland and it admitted children aged three and above under the supervision of Miss Petrie. Maria Ross made provision for the upkeep of the school after her death and it remained as an independent trust until 1847 when it came under the control of the new County School Board. A new teacher was appointed, Miss Annie Dick and she was responsible for 48 boys and 67 girls between the ages of three and eight. Under the strict discipline of Miss Grey and Miss Coull, the infant school continued to be the first experience of education for Ferryden children until the 1960's.
