Glen Aray school, 4 miles north of Inveraray, was closed in 1934. A school that was long supported by the Dukes of Argyll.
Last month, I visited the ruin of this school. It was not easy to find.
In this film, I deliberately mix-up periods of time. I also reflect on being misunderstood as a ‘backward scholar’.
