Old travel Blog photograph of the Academy in Shawlands, Glasgow, Scotland. Shawlands Academy is Glasgow’s designated International School and one of Scotland’s most multicultural schools. It is situated in Shawlands, between Pollok Park, and its Burrell Collection, and Queen's Park, named after Mary Queen of Scots who fought her final battle on Scottish soil at the Battle of Langside on 13 May 1568. Shawlands Academy dates from 1857 when there was a private school of the same name located nearby in Skirving Street. The school as we know it today opened its doors over 118 years ago in 1894 in the nearby building on Pollokshaws Road which now houses Shawlands Primary School.
