From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Montrose Academy is a secondary school in Angus, Scotland established in 1815. It has a school roll of around 1000 students, with a staff roll of 100.
The school's most famous feature is the gold dome on top of the original building. Originally the dome was copper, but was covered in gold leaf as a war memorial, paid for by Miss Blanche Mearns to commemorate her brother who had died in World War II. It features on the school's badge, a gold dome on the maroon blazer. The school tie is broad stripes of maroon and gold. The school also has a war memorial on the back of the Assembly Hall with all the names of the men and woman who have died in World War II and who were educated at Montrose Academy.
