Clandeboye Schoolhouse, Dunlop

Clandeboye Schoolhouse in Dunlop dates back to 1641, with repairs made in the mid-18th century and an addition and interior remodel completed in 1924-1925. This former schoolhouse is a two-storey, two-bay rectangular building featuring crowstepped gables and a 1925 extension to the north. It is constructed from sandstone and whinstone rubble, with sandstone ashlar dressings, and includes an eaves course, long and short sandstone quoins, raised ashlar window margins, and relieving arches over some ground-floor windows.

The main entrance features a two-leaf timber panelled door set in a roll-moulded ashlar architrave, with a tablet above inscribed "MAIN BUILDING ERECTED 1641. EXTENSION 1925. NEC TAMEN CONSUMEBATUR" referring to the 1925 extension. The main building has a central doorway (which has been filled in) and windows on both floors in the flanking bays. There is a window to the right on the first floor at the south gable, with evidence of three other windows that have also been filled in. The rear elevation is regularly fenestrated and has Hans Hamilton's Tomb adjoining to the right. A classical gravestone of Agnes Cochrane is built into the side of the 1925 addition.

The building features small-pane glazing, likely from 1924, in timber hopper windows. There is a coped stack with a thake-stone at the south gablehead, a finial on the north gable, and the roof is covered with graded grey Scottish slate.

Inside, the space was remodelled in 1924 and includes a large two-storey room that is timber panelled up to the first-floor level, with a roll-moulded cornice and a vaulted ceiling adorned with Jacobean-style plasterwork. The extension has red tiles, and there is a two-leaf, half-glazed timber panelled door leading to the main room.
