As can be seen from this list , a school was erected at by the Society for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge at Scarista on October the 11th 1732.
At the time that the list was compiled in 1748 there were 13 boys and 9 girls attending the school.
The other three schools in the Presbytery of Uist were on the islands of St Kilda and Benbecula and at 'Borbh' which I presume to refer to the Borve on North Uist?
The 22 scholars of Scarista are the earliest that I have discovered thus far.
