NG2049 : Reroofing the old school at Colbost
taken 3 years ago, near to Totaig, Isle of Skye, Scotland
Reroofing the old school at Colbost
The former school building is now a craft shop selling Skye Silver; to the right is the former schoolhouse. Both were designed (as were many other schools and schoolhouses in Skye and the mainland) by the ubiquitous architect Alexander Ross, known as "the Christopher Wren of the Highlands". Since the school closed in the late 1950s, children from the village have had to travel to Borrodale in
NG1649 (now also closed) or Dunvegan in
NG2547 for their primary schooling.
