Hi Mackiwi
..and a warm welcome to Talking Scot :D
A quick google didn't reveal much:
The 1950's also saw the return of the last evacuee children to urban Scotland and in 1958 the departure of HMS Adamant and her flotillas of submarines for Faslane. The consequent haemorrhage of children from Bute led to the closure of the Primary and its amalgamation with the Public School to form Rothesay Primary which then moved to a new building at Meadowcap where it remains to this day.

...and I'm not familiar with that area, but maybe someone will be along soon who can help.

Meadowcap

Hi all,

Guess I should have been a little more specific.
I am trying to find the size or Census boundaries for Meadowcap. I know it was a tenement but what sized area it took up I can't figure out. I know it existed in 1869, but what year it was closed I don;t know. The closest I have found is sometime after 1881.
Thank you to all who take the time to offer suggestions.

Hi mackiwi

Not sure if this adds anything but the total population naming meadowcap as home on the 1881 census is not too large.....
