Scotland scholarships, boarding schools?

[Bananapancakes13]

Does anyone have experience of their child around year 9 getting a scholarship for a boarding school in Scotland? We are looking at Gordonstoun but unsure of others and which ones would suit/which ones might be able to financially help? Any help would be appreciated.

Full scholarship or?

Ideally a full scholarship but as much as possible!

I know a couple of children who have scholarships at Lomond Scholarships - Lomond School - one has an academic and one has a performing arts. I believe they range in value up to 50%, but they also offer means tested bursaries.

Thank you, I have been told they are only giving 10% next year unfortunately!

Even some experiences of the kind of things some of these schools are looking for from experiences etc would be great.

Would you consider Longridge Towers School (in Berwick upon Tweed)? They make regular trips up into the border towns and Edinburgh and I believe offer higher value scholarships than a lot of the Scottish boarding schools. Scholarships and Bursaries | Longridge Towers School
