These former school buildings may not be welcoming pupils back after the Scottish Easter break this week, but they will certainly provide wonderful homes for a wide range of buyers.

Thoughtfully designed conversions have proved to be an effective and creative way of breathing new life back into buildings that are no longer required for education. Occupying prime village positions as well as vibrant city locations, these often characterful and historic buildings were once an essential part of the community. Many have now been beautifully adapted to modern-day living: period exteriors and stylish modern interiors – typically featuring expansive rooms, high ceilings and large windows – are just some of the characteristics that can make school conversions such comfortable and aspirational homes.

These are six of the best currently on the market in Scotland.
