Jordanhill School was established in 1920 and has produced many famous Scottish faces from the world of sport, music and film.
It is unique compared to every school in Scotland, in that it is directly funded by grants from the Scottish Government, rather than the traditional public schools who are funded via the local authority or private schools which are funded by fee paying students.
Thanks to this grant aided model, they regularly record the best exam results in the country.
Many alumni from the school go on to take high level jobs in Scotland and beyond in fields like medicine or law, but today we wanted to focus on those former students who went on to become famous.
Here are eight famous faces who attended Jordanhill School in Glasgow.
