Fordyce Academy, known until the mid-19th century as Fordyce School, and also sometimes called Smith's Academy, was a famous grammar school in the village of Fordyce, Banffshire, Scotland, founded about 1592, refounded in 1790, and closed in 1964. By the early 20th century the school was so highly regarded in Scotland that it was known as "the Eton of the North".[1]
