6th August 2022 marks 150 years since the passing of the 1872 Education (Scotland) Act – a piece of legislation which transformed education in Scotland and has left a substantial legacy both positive and negative.
We’re delighted to launch an online exhibition which uses items from our collections to tell the story of this act – how it came about and what the Highland Archive Service collections can tell us about teachers, subjects, discipline, holidays and the impact of the act on Gaelic.
Please view our new exhibition at https://www.highlifehighland.com/archives-service/the-education-scotland-act-1872-150-years-of-learning/
