Dunoon Primary School

Dunoon Primary School is a school in Dunoon, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is located in a Category B listed building dating from 1901.[1]

The site was the original 1641 location of Dunoon Grammar School, now on Ardenslate Road.

The building's architect was Lochgilphead native William Fraser, who was asked to design an extension to an earlier infants' school building (designed in 1880 by Robert Alexander Bryden[2] and which burned down in 1958).[3] 1907 additions were done by Boston, Menzies and Morton.[1] The gymnasium wing was added by Robert Cameron[4] in 1934.[1]

There is evidence of an episcopal seat at Dunoon from the latter part of the 15th century. No remains of the Bishop's Palace now exist, with the site now occupied by the playground of the school.[5]
