Argyll and Bute Councils plan to build a new single-site school in Tobermory, Isle of Mull, has sparked controversy. The proposal, partly funded by the Scottish Government, would house early years, primary, and secondary education together. However, this has led to backlash as kids from south Mull would still need to board in Oban for secondary education, causing family separations. Locals, campaigners, and politicians, including Scottish Conservatives, Greens, Liberal Democrats, and Scottish Labour, have expressed concerns about the unfair process, lack of consultation, and human rights issues. Despite a court ruling in favor of the council, campaigners remain hopeful for change following a meeting with Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth.
