Braeview Academy
Braeview Academy is a secondary school in Dundee, Scotland. Situated on top of a steep hill (brae), it was originally named Whitfield High School. It was damaged in a fire on 11 September 2018, which destroyed around half of the building. Dundee City Council are considered replacing Braeview and nearby Craigie High School with a new school on the site of the former St Saviour's High School.[2]
