St. Leonard's Church was built in Dairsie village in 1843, it was refurbished in 1877 and in 1966 when St. Mary's Church (by Dairsie Castle) was closed. The closure was the result of the Kirk Session (1966) decision that as a small rural community Dairsie could not afford to maintain two churches. A history of both St. Mary's and St. Leonard's is to be added to Dairsie website in the near future.
The first Dairsie school was about halfway along the left hand side of the lane which runs from Dairsie to Middlefoodie. This was replaced in 1868 with a new school and school house on the site now occupied by the present school. A new school house was built in 1968 (now a private house) and work started on building a new school on the site of the old school house. In 1970 the new school was opened and the old school removed and the ground cleared to create the new playground.
