History

Croftinloan School was established in 1936 by Hugo Brown as a boys prep school. Hugo Brown bought the residential and sporting estate of Croftinloan in 1935 from Mr J Paterson Brown, who used Croftinloan House as a shooting lodge. The estate was originally owned by members of the Atholl-Fergusson family. In April 2000, the Governors announced that the school would be closing in June. In 2013, Croftinloan House was demolished to make way for a housing development.
