Started in 1876 by Dora, the eldest daughter of James Hay Erskine Wemyss, of Wemyss Castle, the school was modelled on the Royal School of Needlework in London; but with a partisan purpose. The Wemyss School sought to teach a skill to local girls from which they would then be able to earn a living. Under the present guardian, Fiona Wemyss, the School has progressed to teaching all kinds of Needlecrafts, supplying materials and designs to customers while still retaining the original building and a wealth of historical pieces.
