Shawlands Academy can be found in the Southside of Glasgow and is considered to be one of Scotland's most multicultural schools.
The school that we know today first opened its doors in 1894 in a nearby building on Pollokshaws Road which now houses Shawlands Primary School. They have several notable alumni which includes actors, comedians and famous musicians who have all been pupils at the southside secondary school at some point.
