This had followed 18 months of designing and planning.</p> <p>The work lasted about nineteen weeks, and was carried out by John Robertson Construction under the guidance of the architectural consultant M.S. Sim. It involved the construction of a new extension (the 'new build') attached to the old Glenholm school house and filling the old garden area, and the conversion and modernisation of the school house itself and the old school. </p> <p> The school house now contains three guest rooms, the office and the proprietors' accommodation. The school is a fully equipped training room and the extension contains the lounge, dining room and kitchen.</p> <p>The <a href="picturelist.htm" target="contents">table of contents</a> represents a pictorial history of the construction work.
