Background
History
Croftinloan School was established in 1936 as a boys' prep school by Hugo Brown, a former pupil at Monkton Combe School and graduate of Christ's College, Cambridge. 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. The estate was originally owned by members of the Atholl-Fergusson family. In April 2000, the Governors announced that the school would close in June. In 2013, Croftinloan House was demolished to make way for a housing development.
