Croftinloan Preparatory School was a co-educational independent preparatory school near Pitlochry, Scotland.

History[]

Croftinloan School was established in 1936 by Hugo Brown as a boys prep school.[1] Hugo Brown bought the residential and sporting estate of Croftinloan in 1935 from Mr J Paterson Brown, who used Croftinloan House as a shooting lodge.[2] The estate was originally owned by members of the Atholl-Fergusson family.[3]

In April 2000, the Governors announced that the school would be closing in June.[citation needed]

In 2013, Croftinloan House was demolished to make way for a housing development.[4]
