Keil School, Dumbarton, Scotland.
The school opened on the 29th
November 1915 as Kintyre Technical College, Keil House, Southend, near
Campbelltown in Argyll. After a fire destroyed the originally
building in Southend it was re-located and opened in Dumbarton as Keil
School in 1925. The school took a lease on Helenslee
House, a 50 acre site on the banks of the River Clyde. Helenslee
House was originally the property of the ship building family Dennys of
Dumbarton.
Keil School was a independent
secondary school with boarding and day pupils for around 160 to 200
pupils. The school was an all boys school up until 1978, when it
became co-educational.
Keil School closed in July 2000.
Currently the school building and site lie unoccupied.
For those interested in reading
more of the history of the school, it is worthwhile trying and track
down a copy of "A History of Keil School" published in 1993, Author
Roddy MacAskill - Printer by the Edinburgh Press Ltd.
