Individual Scottish Schools: Isle of Jura School


Figure 1.-- The 1892 photograph here shows 33 children and one male tracher at the Isle of Jura school. None of the boys wore kilts. The younger boys were all barefoot which was an indication of poverty. The girls all wore dresses, but without pinafores.

Jura is a beautiful green island off the West coast of Scotland, close to the larger island of Islay. . It has a very small poplation. It did have a small coed state primary school on the Isle of Jura. We are not sure when it was fpunded. We know it was functioning in the 1890s. A 1892 photographed showed 33 children and one male tracher. None of the boys wore kilts. The younger boys were all barefoot which was an indication of poverty. The girls all wore dresses, but without pinafores.
