Torry Academy commemorative willow tree

A commemorative tree created as a memento marking the closure of Torry Academy in July 2018. The school first opened in 1927.

The willow tree was created by artists Margaret and David Preston. It has an engraved gold leaf for each pupil and staff member in Torry Academy's final year. The copper windings on the tree will, in time, oxidise and the tree colours are intended to reflect those of the school tie: blue, aqua and silver.

Torry and Kincorth Academies closed to make way for the state-of-the-art £47 million Lochside Academy.
