List Of Independent Schools In Scotland
The following is a partial list of currently operating independent schools in Scotland. They are referred to as "private schools" in Scotland, common with most of the English-speaking world. The term "public school", used in England to refer to these independently operating schools, is not used in Scotland.
Many of the schools are perceived to be heavily influenced by the culture, practices and ethos of English private, or "public", schools. James Robertson, author, described Glenalmond College as "a Scottish boarding school modelled on the English public school system". The perceived English influence in many of these schools was such that in 1887 one author referred to them as "English schools".
