Dundonians I have a question? Need your help

scruffy96uk

DH and I plan to move to dundee with DD and dog. We are looking at a house in Emmock Woods (just off A90). What is the primary school like ( mill of mains) and what secondary would she go to from there?
We are also looking at a house in Liff (the old liff hospital) so opinions on both areas i.e schools etc much appreciated.

TIA for your help

For hivens sake loon (or quine) surely ye ken the only guid thing* tae come oot o' Dundee is the road tae Aberdein

Ah, now I see why you wanted to be near to the road to Aberdeen.

There are trains that stop in Broughty.;)

one other suggestion - use Google to find the post codes of schools suggested, and then use Goople map's wee man to take a walk round the local area.

is the list of schools.

I think Mill O' Mains would be a feeder fo Baldragon Academy (previously Kirkton High) but don't quote me on that.

It's an underestimated city, it's got a lot going for it, but there are some sights too:eek:. Sometimes called the city that's population thinks it's a town, though it has got more cosmopolitan over the years with having a sizeable University population.

I've lived in Emmock Woods now for 4 years & love it! There's plenty of fields at the rear of where I am that's very popular with dogwalkers.

Can't comment on Mill o Mains PS as my youngest attends Fintry PS-it's a newbuild just finished this year & still not officially opened so I've not had the chance of a nosy inside it yet. My eldest having attended the 'old' Fintry PS moved onto Braeview Academy (Whitfield High). I had my reservations initially as it had a poor reputation-I was pleasantly surprised however on a visit where we met the staff & were shown around before she moved up there. She's had no problems & is doing well in all her subjects.

Can't comment on Liff, but any other questions feel free to ask.
