This follows the rural depopulation story as it affected Carsluith. In 1913, Carsluith needed a new primary school because there were 90 children in the area. By 1964, however, the school’s enrolment had dropped to just 12 students, leading to its closure. Today, only two children
remain in the area. This reflects the broader trend of rural depopulation during the 20th century, driven by factors such as fewer farming jobs due to mechanisation, the decline of salmon fishing, and most notably, the shutting down of the local granite quarries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSv3QMZYLEQ
