Morgan Academy

Forfar Rd, Dundee DD4 7AX, UK – 01382 307000

I use to go to high school here many years ago and very fond memories. When I was in 5th year and it was my parents night, 2 weeks before our prelims, that is when the school burned down and for the remainder of 5th and entire 6th year I went to the old Rockwell school. I did go to the open day couple of years ago and I much prefer the old school compared to the new one, but I won’t let it take from the memories I had there:-) some great times! If I ever have any kids, they are going there!

Beautiful A-listed building, built in the 1860s. It's still a school so you can't go inside, but you get good views from both Forfar Road and Pitkerro.
