Cambusdoon School

It was built in 1853 as a mansion for wealthy businessman, philanthropist and MP James Baird. The house remained privately owned until 1926, when it was sold to the Rev Harry Horton and converted into the Cambusdoon Preparatory School for Boys.

The school had some famous pupils too - ex Rangers owner Sir David Murray attended for a while, along with Duncan Coulthard, dad of retired F1 driver David.

There isn't much of it left now but we found this lovely arch into a terraced walk down to the river Doon.
