Chrissie MacLachlan taught there from at least 1928 until she retired. My uncle attended that school from the age of 5 in 1928 and even as an adult was terrified of her as were all the children. I expect you can google Lochdon primary school and at least find up-to-date info and possible archive material by contacting them. It was certainly one of the schools built in Mull after the Education act in the 1870s and opened around 1880. Hope this helps Cathy Spence 1. Craignure Elementary School (mackay) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2014 19:40:14 -0500 From: "mackay" <mackay@computan.on.ca> Subject: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Craignure Elementary School To: <sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <000401cf2141$ab524480$01f6cd80$@computan.on.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Christina McLachlan (1900- 1978), I am told, was the teacher for many years at the Craignure Elementary School. I have been trying to find a photo of this school and possibly a reference to her. I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion as to where I might look. Thank you. Nancy
