In front of the school building stands a Celtic cross carved from Corrennie granite from Aberdeenshire to a design by T T Paterson and erected in 1900. The inscription reads, "In sacred memory of Major General Andrew Gilbert Wauchope of Niddrie Marischal who fell in battle at Magersfontein, South Africa, 8th December 1899 while gallantly leading The Highland Brigade. Erected by the miners of Niddrie, the Tenants of Niddrie Estate and by other friends".
