History

[edit]

In 1809 a royal charter was signed by King George III for an academy to be built in Tain.[2] The school opened in 1813. A new school building was opened in 1969, extended in 1978.[3]

A £45 million campus with facilities catering for three to 18 year olds is to be located on the existing Tain Royal Academy site. In 2015, these plans were approved by Highland Council and then Scottish Government Ministers.[4][5]
