Dalbeattie Primary School (1876 building only)

James Barbour, 1876. Single storey, symmetrical 13-bay, rectangular-plan school building in plain Gothic style set on a raised site sloping to the north and east. The building is mainly constructed of square snecked granite with string course to ground level. There is a central 3-stage entrance tower rising to an octagonal and louvred 3rd stage, surmounted by a wrought iron weathervane. There are advanced gabled end bays with ventilated arrow slits to the gable head and a small gabled bay to penultimate bay left with entrance door to return. There is a later entrance door to penultimate end bay to right.

Predominantly 6-pane, timber in sash and case windows throughout; gabled slate roof consisting of overhanging eaves and plain timber bargeboarding.

Interior was seen in 2013. It has been largely modernised to form late 20th century classroom facilities and includes the school gymnasium and cafeteria.

The boundary wall to Southwick Road forms the south perimeter of the property and dates from circa 1876. The boundary wall is a mix of granite and sandstone random coursed rubble with granite coping stones including plain, pyramidal caps to the granite gatepiers
