Milesmark Primary School, Rumblingwell, Dunfermline

Milesmark Primary School was built in 1874-76 to the design of Andrew Scobie, with later 20th-century additions. It is a single-story building arranged in an I-plan and constructed in the Gothic Revival style. The school features prominent, gabled bays topped with ball finials and large, six-light mullioned and transomed windows with pointed relieving arches. The exterior is of coursed, snecked sandstone with droved sandstone ashlar dressings, a base course, and coped gables. The window and door openings are chamfered and largely Caernarvon-headed, with the exception of those on the rear (north) elevation and the central pointed light of the six-light windows.

The south elevation is symmetrical, with a three-bay section set back to the centre, the central bay being wider and gabled, featuring stacks to the gable and a central six-light mullioned and transomed window. Flanking bays have two-light mullioned windows. Projecting sections to either side have low, outer flanking buttresses, with gabled entrance bays to the inner returns. Original timber doors with diagonally boarded panels are located within each side entrance (one for girls, one for boys), both featuring rectangular fanlights and two-light mullioned windows to the outer side. Circular label-moulded vents are positioned in each gable. The gabled central bay of each projecting section has a central six-light mullioned and transomed window with a trefoiled vent at the apex, with narrow flanking windows set back slightly.

The east elevation features a gabled central bay with a six-light mullioned and transomed window. Two windows were formerly positioned on either side, but the outer one and an additional narrow window to the left are now largely obscured by a 20th-century rendered flat-roofed extension. Slightly projecting gabled bays have six-light mullioned and transomed windows.

The west elevation showcases gabled flanking outer bays, each with a six-light mullioned and transomed window and a trefoiled vent at the apex. An earlier 20th-century, rendered flat-roofed porch extension sits to the left, with an entrance to the left return.

The north elevation presents three two-light mullioned windows set back to the center. Projecting sections, lacking finials and coping, are on either side, each featuring a central four-light mullioned and transomed window, narrow flanking windows, a circular vent at the gable apex, and a low buttress to the outer edge. A rendered lean-to extends from the inner return of the left projecting section, while a narrow window and a two-light mullioned window are found on the inner return of the right section.

The building mainly features four- and eight-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered in grey slate and has a pair of coped wallhead stacks flanking the gable on the south side; one is slightly shouldered and rebuilt in red brick to the inner return of the northwest projecting section, with largely missing cans. The interior of the school was not inspected in 1999.

A boundary wall, built of coursed stugged snecked sandstone with chamfered droved ashlar coping and cast-iron railings to Rumblingwell, encloses the triangular site. Square-plan gatepiers with elaborately moulded coping are centrally positioned on the school frontage, while coursed sandstone rubble walling with rounded coping runs along Parneuk Road.
