My Great Grandmother was a school teacher in Kippen, I came across some of her references :

Kippen School Board Reference

11th July 1892

This is to certify that Miss Agnes Gray has acted as Interim Teacher in Castlehill School under this board, for about four months, during the illness of the head teacher, and has given the most complete satisfaction to the Board, as well as to the parents of the children in the discharge of her arduous duties. She had the management of the whole school consisting of Infants and first three Standards, also the sewing of Kippen Public School, as well as the instruction of two Pupil Teachers.

This Board trust Miss Gray may soon get a permanent appointment, and give her the highest recommendation to any Board, who have such and appointment at their disposal.
