Description

Lanark Grammar School, built in 1883, is an extensive range of school buildings located on Hyndford Road in Lanark. The structure is single storey with a raised basement at the rear, constructed from tooled and snecked red rubble, featuring contrasting cream tooled ashlar dressing. The layout follows a free H-plan, with each block topped by gables that include three or five-light lancet windows. Some gables are adorned with decorative drip moulds or a plain roundel at the apex. Other elevations feature single light square-headed windows and pairs of lancets beneath secondary gables. All gables have straight skews, with most topped by iron finials. An octagonal lead bellcote with a weathervane rises from a square base, which is surrounded by a decorative cast iron balustrade. There are three doors on the south elevation, one on the southwest elevation, and one at the north. The roofs are covered in slate.
