Now a holiday cottage, the former small school close to the confluence of the Lambden and College burns, served many generations of valley children. It began life in 1854 and after some periods of closure re-opened in 1911, and was finally closed in 1968. Pupil numbers varied from just three or four, to a peak of 16 in 1960. All ages of children were taught together by one teacher who lived in the little cottage at Coldburn just along the road Image http://www.college-valley.co.uk/history.htm
