Ballikinrain

The location is alongside the Ballinkinrain Burn, which rises to the south, on the Earl's Seat (578 metres (1,896 ft)), and runs for about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) across Ballikinrain Muir and through the estate, making in its descent a number of cascades, to the Endrick Water.

After the war St Hilda's remained at Ballinkinrain, owing to the difficulty of securing a satisfactory renovation of the buildings at Liberton, which had been used by the army.

The school provided care and education services for young people aged six to 16 years who were experiencing social, emotional and behavioural difficulties.

Ballikinrain School closed at the beginning of 2021 following the combined influence of Government policy and an organisational understanding of effective practice.

[9] CrossReach Residential Care and Education services are now offered in the form of community children's houses supported by a separate school, Erskine Waterfront Campus: www.crossreach.org.uk/our-locations/erskine-waterfront-campus.
