A creative and business centre in Brooke Street, Dumfries, The Old School lies behind St. Andrew's Roman Catholic Church. Formerly St. Andrews RC Primary School, the building comprises two handsome red sandstone blocks, one of 1896 and the other of 1908. Having lain empty after the school moved to new premises in 2009, the building was occupied by eight small businesses and re-opened in 2011. The Old School offers art, drama, fitness and dance classes, includes hair, beauty, wedding and photography businesses, as well as a tea-room.
