There are no visible remains of the school depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map in the centre of Auchengray village, on the W side side of the road. By the publication of the 2nd edition map (1898) the school had moved across the road to the S of the church, although the original building is still depicted, roofed, on the 1913 edition of the map. The Name Book describes the original school thus: 'It is one storey in height, thatched and in good repair. There are 30 male and 30 female scholars ... The teacher's salary is partly made up by a grant given by the general assembly which is £10 per annum and the average amount of the fees is £26, which makes a total of £36 per year. He has also a free house and garden. The usual branches of education are taught.' (ONB 1864).
