Crimond School is half way between Fraserburgh and Peterhead and has 85 pupils in Primary 1-7. Like Mintlaw, the school was originally a Junior Secondary school and was built in 1963
The school badge celebrates the famous tune "Crimond" which is used for the 23rd Psalm. It was written by Jessie Seymour Irvine who was the daughter of the local minister. She composed the tune in 1871 - two years before Annie was born - so Annie is bound to have sung The Lord Is My Shepherd to this tune!
The church in Crimond has an error in the clock face - it was painted with 61 minutes! Surely this will be an inspiration for a rhyme or two
Pauline will visit Crimond School on the 22nd April 2025 and can't wait to meet the staff and pupils.
