On the eighth of June 2021 we interviewed Mr & Mrs Stitchell for the history of Keills and the surrounding area.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We learnt that the school was built in the late 1950\u2019s. There was no Pre-5 unit, they had to go to the Gaelic College, Newton and then Keills! The school times were nine o\u2019clock AM to four o\u2019clock PM.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They told us that Bowmore High School used to be called Bowmore Secondary School.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Stitchells also informed us that there used to be a shop in Bunnahabhain.<\/p>\n
We found out that Bunnahabhain School closed in the 1980\u2019s.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We also learnt that Caol Ila Distillery was as founded in 1864.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We found it interesting that Ballygrant had a water wheel that they used to grind grain.<\/p>\n
