 Allan
Glen's School Club building
at the playing fields in Bishopbriggs  Motto: "Cum Scientia Humanitas" ( 'Humanity with Knowledge' / 'Civilization with Science') Allan Glen was a wright who became a wealthy property owner who left £20,000 in his will in 1850 to make "provision for giving gratuitously a good practical education to about fifty boys, sons of tradesmen or persons in the industrial classes in Glasgow". In 1912 the school became a Science High School under the Glasgow School Board. Children who passed the entrance exam, benefitted from the high standard of teaching at the school. It ceased to be a selective school in 1973 and closed in 1989. |
