Albyn School: A Century at Queen’s Road

A beautifully presented, illustrated book, this volume marks the centenary in 2025 of the move to Queen’s Road, and provides a rich, visual portrait of life at one of Scotland’s  best-loved independent schools, incorporating resonant historical stories and alumni reminiscences.

Read about school life, beginnings and first days, extra-curricular events, celebrations, recollections of teachers, pranks, exams, and endings. The book includes contributions such as diary entries, letters, timetables and school reports which paint a vivid picture of life at Albyn, while touching on major events in Aberdeen and wider world events such as the war years, the typhoid scare of 1964, and more recently, Covid19.

A Century at Queen’s Road encapsulates the spirit, ethos and community of Albyn,  and will be treasured for years to come.
