On the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, St. Hilda's School for Girls, a boarding school based at Liberton near Edinburgh took up temporary residence at Ballikinrain Castle. After the war, owing to the difficulty of securing a satisfactory renovation of the buildings at Liberton, St Hilda's remained at Ballinkinrain, Following closure of the school, with effect from 29 July 1968, an aspproved school for 50 junior boys was certified to operate at the Castle, under the management of the Church of Scotland.
