Gateside is a small village in North Ayrshire, Scotland about half a mile east of Beith on the B777. ==The village== Gateside Primary School was opened in 1903, and nowadays it has 74 pupils (2009). The school has an extension built in 1998 which provided indoor toilets and a school hall, which is used by the nursery, PE classes and for school dinners and for assemblies. Another extension is to be built soon. The school is very environmentally aware and has achieved its Green Flag Award (2009). Spier's school stood nearby and the grounds are now a public park used by the Gateside and Beith communities. The Isabel Patrick Memorial Hall is a building in the Gothic style. Trearne House stood near Gateside, but it was demolished and the site is now a large worked out limestone quarry. A field behind the primary school was given to the community by the Marshall family who were the village blacksmiths for many years. The meaning of Powgree, Gateside's burn, is suggested as being 'Stream of the herd (of deer)'.〔Johnston, J. B. (1903). ''Place-names of Scotland''. Edinburgh : David Douglas.
