Location and Catchment<\/h1>\n
\n

We have a number of places of interest near our school and here we have included some which might be of interest!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Greenan Castle is a 16th century tower house, on site of a possible ancient fort. The entrance lintel has the inscription, JK 1603 FMD<\/em>, for John Kennedy of Baltersan and his third wife, Florence MacDowell, who owned the lands. Auld Brig o\u2019Doon – The landscape of nearby Alloway, in particular, inspired some of Burns\u2019 best-loved work, such as the comic ghost story Tam o\u2019Shanter and the romantic Ye Banks and Braes o\u2019Bonie Doon. Burns Cottage – The birth place of Robert Burns is located in Alloway, South Ayrshire, Scotland. Burns, was born there on January 25, 1759. The cottage is now a museum dedicated to him. It has been fully restored and is part of the Burns National Heritage Park. Burns Monument – Monument to Robert Burns, Ayr, 24 March 1814.<\/p>\n

Our location is very special as we can access a variety of environments within walking distance. These include the beach, the river walk, the town, a railway walk and Belleisle Park. We are beginning to build strong links with Belleisle through work with the rangers.<\/p>\n

Our local community is very supportive of us and we have strong links with Alloway Church and Community as well.<\/p>\n
