Nicolson Institute

The island’s secondary school has a new building, a prominent edifice along Sandwick Road next to the Council offices. The builders handed it over yesterday, 30 July, and pupils will be entering it on August 16th. Stornoway Historical Society have an exhibition on the history of the school was opened in Stornoway Town Hall, which is well worth a visit. Of the old buildings making up the ‘Nic’, only the Pentland Building and the Matheson Hall will be retained. The other premises are to be demolished before the end of the year.
