Bridge and former school
The photograph is taken from the road bridge over the Abhainn Poll-Iosgainn. The building is the former Borrodale Primary School. The school closed in 2007 due to a decline in local pupil numbers. Attempts have been made to make use the school building, most notably with the establishment of an exhibition on heritage and a community café, run by volunteers. However these attempts were ultimately unsuccessful and the school has become disused again. The Glendale Trust have now taken ownership of the school and are looking to redevelop the site to take it into community use.

Borrodale Primary School
Currently not being used as a school due to lack of children. Instead it is holding a heritage exhibition including details of the martyrs who struggled to improve the rights of the local crofters. It also acts as a most welcome cafe with some excellent carrot cake!

The Martyrs' Horn
Inside Borrodale Primary School - currently used as a cafe. This was John MacPherson's horn dating from 1883. It was used to warn the crofters when the authorities arrived during their struggle for land reform. Not only were fifty fully armed policemen used to arrest the ringleaders, but four Naval gunboats were sent to the Colbost jetty. They unloaded three regiments of marines, two of infantry and one of artillery.
