Breadalbane Academy

Breadalbane Academy is a joint primary and secondary school located in Highland Perthshire in the town of Aberfeldy, Scotland. The school currently has over 700 pupils.[1] Breadalbane Academy has a wide catchment area throughout Perthshire, including areas such as Killin, Acharn, Kenmore, Dunkeld, Birnam, Bankfoot and Pitlochry. At one time secondary pupils from remoter areas stayed in school hostels in Aberfeldy, but with better roads and depopulation of many remote areas, the hostels were closed at the end of the 20th century. The new school building was erected for opening at the end of 2010. The new school building is a joint campus with leisure facilities that include a swimming pool, tennis court, astroturf and numerous indoor games halls. It was opened in December 2010 after a 3 year building project.
