Reflected school
"A big palazzo in stugged ashlar with rusticated basement and wide rusticated pilasters" (The Buildings of Scotland: Glasgow). Architect: Frank Burnet, 1886.
The Education (Scotland) Act of 1872 had made elementary education mandatory for all children. To fulfil this obligation, school boards were created and started to build schools better than the earlier voluntary schools.
