I have just posted a memorial for Dalbeattie Primary school and am currently looking for a memorial for Dalbeattie High school. The current high school is a newer building but not sure where the original building was.

The primary school memorial is inscribed 'former pupils of Dalbeattie Higher Grade Public School' so is this the memorial for the high school? Was the present primary school the former high school?

The Higher Grade School would become the High School. I suspect what is now the primary school is in the former Higher Grade School building and moved in once the High School moved out to larger, more modern buildings.

In many cases schools take their plaques with them when they move but in this case they must have felt it was more appropriate to leave it in its original location.

It certainly looks well cared for.
