Scotch College, Melbourne. I should say straight away that this particular school has had a number of histories written about it. These quotes come from the most recent one published in 2001. “A Deepening Roar: Scotch College, Melbourne, 1851-2001” by James Mitchell.

I have several reasons for going with Scotch next. Firstly because it’s a school I was always moderately fascinated with. It’s located quite close to Xavier where I attended (one of a number of schools on or near Glenferrie Road in Melbourne) and the two schools have historically been fierce rivals (I believe Scotch also views Melbourne Grammar with particular enmity – and that one came up in the Victorian State Parliament a few years ago), and I used to see its boys around a lot.
