| Administrative History | Ross's School opened in 1864 in Holburn Street, funded by a bequest of £7000 from James Ross, an upholsterer practising in the Upperkirkgate who was "moved by the mean and laborious lives of workers in the Holburn Street area" (quote from "Aberdeen 1800-2000".)
In 1888 Ross's School was amalgamated into the Aberdeen Educational Trust, and under the terms of the Trust's Scheme of Administration, the school was sold to the Aberdeen School Board within a year. It then became Holburn Street School (see reference ED/AT5/5). |
