Scotstoun Primary School is a primary school built by Renfrew Landward School Board in 1905 on Earlbank Avenue. The building differs from those built by the Glasgow School Board in many respects, notably in the inclusion of its distinctive towers. The current head teacher is Gillian Mackay. The date given for construction, 1905, appears to conflict with an attendance award given to student John Davidson at end of session, June, 1903. The school therefore must have existed prior to the construction of a building in 1905. The award certificate is pasted inside the front cover of a copy of The Coral Island by R.M.Ballantyne. The award certificate is professionally printed and is headed 'Renfrew Landward School Board - Scotstoun Public School.'
Scotstoun remained outwith Glasgow city boundaries until 1926, when it was annexed to provide land for Glasgow Corporation's planned new housing estates. There is currently thought to be 364 pupils in the school
Scotstoun Primary is part of the Knightswood New Learning Community.[1]
