Administrative HistoryPitsligo School was located in the coastal parish of the same name in Aberdeenshire. The school had been the parish school and, following the implementation of the 1872 Education (Scotland) Act, was taken over by the newly-formed Pitsligo School Board. Until 1886 it was under the supervision of a graduate headmaster, and catered for pupils from the age of five years to university entrance. Thereafter, a female certificated teacher provided an education for pupils up to the age of thirteen years.
Formerly Parish School at Peathill. Closed in 1961
