Many Scottish schools are called "accademies". This term is not used in England. I am not sure precisely what the term accademy denoted. Thet were founded as private schools, I think mostly as secondary schools. Some are operated today along the lines of an English public (private secondary) school. Several Scottish accademies unlike public schools have junioir (primary) sections. This is the case of Morrison's Accademy. The school is located in Perthshire Scotland. We have not yet researched the school, but we have archived a photograph of a rugby team at the schools, probably from the 1980s. A former student tells us that the BBC program, "Who Rules the School" was filmed there. Scottish film
star Euan MacGregor was educated there. The school is a black blazer with white piping. I assume there was once a cap, but I not sure whebn the cap was discontinued. Boys wore dark blie shorts or grey long pants. The uniform is notable for the red kneesocks that the boys wear. (THe girls wore white kneesicks.) Several Scottish schools had colored kneesocks where most English boys wear grey kneesocks.
