Former Clachnaharry Public School, Clachnaharry High Street

The former Clachnaharry Public School, designed by William Mackintosh for the Inverness Burgh School Board, dates from 1876. This small, single-storey building is in the Early Gothic Revival style and features a gabled roof and large pointed-arch windows. The exterior is constructed of coursed squared rubble with moulded dressings and margins.

On the south elevation, which is the principal façade, there are approximately five bays with broad gabled wings at the outer ends. The entrance features a roll-moulded doorpiece with a projecting hoodmould above a piend-roof porch located in the re-entrant angle to the west. To the left, there is a corbelled-out and shouldered wallhead stack with a moulded date panel. The outer bays are highlighted by large tri-partite pointed-arch windows, each with hoodmoulds and louvred quatrefoil openings above.

The west elevation includes a gable at the northwest corner with a single-storey lean-to. It has a roll-moulded surround framing a timber door, with a pair of pointed-arch windows situated above. There is also a later single-storey addition at the rear.

The building features timber sash and case windows and a pitched roof covered with grey slates. The end stack has an octagonal ashlar flue, while the corbelled, shouldered wallhead stack has capped round flues and some clay cans. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron.
