Morgan Academy, Secondary school in Stobswell, Dundee, Scotland
The baronial structure features decorative details such as traceried windows and Gothic motifs, positioned prominently on an elevated site overlooking the city.
Edinburgh architects John Dick Peddie and Charles Kinnear designed the building in 1862, which initially operated as Morgan Hospital before becoming Morgan Academy in 1889.
The academic institution maintains three houses named after Scottish castles - Airlie, Cortachy, and Mains - which participate in yearly championships and student leadership programs.
Following extensive reconstruction after a 2001 fire, the academy reopened in 2004 with preserved original facades and interior designs, continuing its educational mission.
The school originated from the £73,500 inheritance of John Morgan, an indigo farmer who made his fortune in India and dedicated funds for educating working-class boys.
