062 | The old grammar school, to which James VI made a grant in 1567, stood near the Cathedral, within the Duke of Athole's grounds. It was removed in 1812, and the present one, a neat and substantial two-storey building, erected in its stead. Education afforded:- English reading, writing and arithmetic, Greek, French, and Latin. Average attendance 30. "In 1567, James VI. made a grant for the erection of a grammar school at Dunkeld, which is designated by the charter the "Royal School of Dunkeld". The right of presentation is conferred on John Earl of Atholl, and his successors, but the examination and admission to the office of the person presented is intrusted "to the superintendent of the church of God within the bounds of Perthshire". By the grant it is declared, that the rector shall reside within the city of Dunkeld, and shall teach in the school himself. The salary, according to the grant, amounts to £67.11.1 Scots, exclusive of school fees. He has also an official residence. The school and dwelling house are kept up by the Atholl family, the sole heritors of Dunkeld. The average number of scholars may be estimated at 80. The branches of education are similar to those taught in the first establishments in Edinburgh. There are half-yearly examinations, one for recitation exclusively, called the "Orations", which is succeded by a ball in the evening; the other examination is general, and is conducted by the presbytery."
