Craigerne Residential School is in Peebles, Peeblesshire, Scotland.

Craigerne was opened as a residential school for boys with emotional difficulties April 1956. Over the years hundreds of boys went through its doors through the sixties and seventies. In the winter of 1982, the school had a major renovation, with a new assembly hall-cum-gymnasium, and improved classroom facilities, funded by a grant from the Scottish Education Department. There were at the time 25 students.

School Closure

Craigerne closed in June 1989 and it would seem was passed to the Education Department. The school was purchased by a developer in 2004 and converted into flats[1] Replacement new oak stairs and paneling to match the original was restored after extensive fire damage.[2]
