Aberdeen Grammar School
The Grammar School premises shown in this image were opened in 1863. After 1882 they were added to at various times.

The bronze statue of Byron that stands outside the school, and is visible in this photo, was by Pittendrigh Macgillivray and was unveiled in 1923. The rector at the time of this photo, Sir James J. Robertson, was then the only headmaster of a Scottish school to be knighted while still in office. He received the honour in July 1956.

This image comes from the Lord Provost of Aberdeen, George Stephen's, Christmas card of 1956.
