Extracts from a report in the Aberdeen Journal

"Today there will be opened a large and handsome school, built at Mile-End by Aberdeen School Board. To meet the wants of the rapidly growing population of the North West district of the city. The new building is meant to take the place of Rubislaw School. Accordingly, Mr J.F.Cruickshank, the able headmaster of that school, with his 1020 scholars, leaves a  building in which much good  work has been done, to  take possession of the spacious and splendid edifice at Mile   -End.

The new school at Mile -End is a square, massive looking building of three stories  from designs by Mr A.H.L.Mackinnon, architect  Internally the woodwork and entire fittings and furnishings are of the most modern character and the School Board has not erred in their provision for the comfort and convenience of teachers and scholars alike."
