This is incorrect: The Scotland Public School was a frame building built 1867 near the sidewalk and in 1924 it was relocated back away from the road and incorporated into a bricked modern continuation school. Pictures of the new building still show the outline of the original picturesque frame building which had three gables in the front and ornate vergeboard at side gables.
The building that is shown here in your digital project posted by the Hunters is incorrect and is not a building in Scotland Ontario. It may have writing on the back which says such things but this is entirely incorrect. I have many pictures of the Scotland Public School and this is not it!!

Dear Mr. Barker,
Thank you for noticing the typo in our title heading! This photo is indeed of the Oakland school, not Scotland, as was noted in the transcription and subject headings. We have corrected the title accordingly.
Regards, Christine MacArthur Reference & E-Resource Librarian
Thanks. Now your digital map to the right here will need to be up-dated, as I said before, this building is not in Burford Township yet the pointer on the screen here still shows it as being on our side of the Township line.
