Dollar Academy Survivors

John McNabb (d.1802) was the founder of Dollar Academy in Clackmannshire, Scotland.  He bequeathing money to its foundation in his will. Sources describe him as a 'slave-trader'. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/person/view/2146634586

With these abhorrent originating funds Dollar Academy opened its doors and began taking children in 1818.

In 2002 investigations began into a pedophilic teacher and Boarding House Master who was employed by Dollar Academy, his name was Dr Johnathan Quick. 

The investigation was prompted by the suicide of then 23-year-old David Young.  David had been pedofiled by Quick when he was a pupil of Dollar Academy.

A man named John Robertson was employed in the role of Rector of Dollar Academy from 1994 to 2010. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12714424.new-rector-for-dollar/

David was not the only pupil of Dollar Academy to be pedofiled by Quick. Investigations found that Quick, the then retired Latin and sports teacher employed by Dollar Academy, had abused three boys and a girl and had assaulted a fourth boy in the late 1970s and early 80s.
