Kilmartin Primary School sits amidst the fertile lands, peat bogs and surrounding hills that make up Kilmartin Glen. This area has been occupied since the earliest times when hunter-gatherers first changed to a more settled life style and began to cultivate the soil.

There are Neolithic and Bronze Age chambered and round cairns, stone circles, rock carvings, Iron Age forts, duns and crannogs, early Christian sculptured stones and medieval castles, only a stones throw from the school.

In 1994-5 the building underwent a major renovation which now provides a higher quality of facilities for all who use the school.
