School and school house buildings beside St Mary's Church (NJ22SW0007). The school house is the North-Westerly of the two buildings, and is also known as 'Monte Abbey'. It was built in 1832, and originally the school was on the ground floor and the school house on the first floor. It is a 2-storey, symmetrical 3-bay South-East facing house. It has green colour-washed harl over rubble, and the centre door is masked by a modern glazed porch. Modern glazing is used throughout, and there are tooled pink granite end stacks and a slate roof. The South-Easterly building is the school, and is dated 1860, at which time the school was moved from the earlier building into this one. It is a single storey, 6-bay rectangular school building, with long elevations roughly North and South. It is constructed from harled rubble, with tooled granite dressings. There is a projecting gabled wing with a stone apex cross in the centre of the North front. Bays 2 and 5 are slightly projecting gabled bays, with an apex stacks and blocked windows. There is lying-pane glazing in the North elevation, and 12-pane glazing to the 4-window South elevation. The gables are crowstepped, and there is a Tomintoul slate roof.
