SS#6 (School Section # 6), aka the Lorne Road School, was a one-room schoolhouse offering primary education to school-aged children around Lochiel, Quigley's Corners and Lorne. The school is found at the east end of conc. 5 Rd, Township of Lochiel,County of Glengarry.
In the 1917 "Report of the Minister of Education", reference is made to this school as being a "Grade C type school - having the full time of one teacher". Subsequent research indicates that a certain Lauchlin McMillan (1823 - 1884), was the third teacher at this school from 1865 to 1869. He was a renowned temperance speaker in Glengarry, both in Gaelic and English. He became superintendant of the Sabbathe School at the Free Church (Presbyterian) at Kirkhill,Lochiel.
