SOCIETY magazine Tatler has featured two Scottish secondaries amongst its list of the top 20 state schools in the country.
The magazine has named Jordanhill, in the west end of Glasgow, and Broughton High School, in Edinburgh, in the rankings for the first time.
Jordanhill, which has one of the most affluent catchment areas in the country, is Scotland's only state-funded self-governing secondary school and regularly tops the school league tables.
Broughton High School, in north Edinburgh, is home to the City of Edinburgh Music School and the SFA Football Performance school.
Edinburgh councillor Paul Godzik, said: “Broughton High School is a fantastic school with first class facilities, especially with regards to music, dance and sport.
"For one one of our schools to be recognised in this way once again demonstrates the high quality of education being provided by the City of Edinburgh Council across the capital."
Tatler, which is more usually associated with features on society parties, luxury holidays and top restaurants, publishes its state school guide for the third year.
Previous Scottish entries have included James Gillespie's School, in Edinburgh.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
