St Vigeans Primary School

St Vigeans Primary School is a single-storey, three-bay Gothic school building, possibly designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson and dated 1875, with 20th-century additions. It is constructed of stugged squared and snecked rubble with ashlar dressings and features a harled extension. The building has a chamfered base course and various types of openings, including pointed, segmental, and square-headed designs, some with hoodmoulds that have label-stops. Stone transoms and mullions, along with chamfered reveals, are also present.

The principal elevation on the west side has steps leading up to a gabled porch on the right, which features a pointed-arch door. Above the porch is a weathered hoodmoulded roundel in the gablehead, and to the right, there is a small pointed-arch four-light window. To the right of this is a set-back bay with a bipartite window below a tiny pointed-arch opening in a dormer gablet that breaks the eaves. On the left, an advanced broad gabled bay contains a 12-light segmental-headed window and a quatrefoil panel in the gablehead.

The north elevation is symmetrical with four bays. The centre bays have three-light windows, flanked by similar hoodmoulded windows that also feature hoodmoulded roundels in the dormer gablets. The south elevation has a central gabled bay with a three-light transomed window and a hoodmould that incorporates an incised panel reading 'ST VIGEAN'S PUBLIC SCHOOL/1875' (though this is eroded), along with a quatrefoil in the gablehead. There is a lean-to link bay adjoining a later flat-roofed bay set back to the outer right.

The east elevation mirrors the west elevation but has a bipartite window in the central porch-like bay, with extensions to both the outer right and left. Throughout the building, small-pane glazing patterns are used in the timber windows. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and features ashlar-coped skews with stone finials. A coped ashlar bell-cote ridge stack with cans is also present, along with some square-section cast-iron downpipes that have decorative fixings.

The interior, which was not seen in 2001, retains fireplaces (though boarded) and has decorative cast-iron ceiling vents in each classroom.
