Broughton High School is in north Edinburgh, Scotland. It is a local authority school, internationally acclaimed for its excellent music department: the City of Edinburgh Music School. It is currently next to Inverleith Park but was formerly in Broughton proper.
Located near to Fettes College, there is occasionally some friction with that school's pupils and in the early 90s there was also trouble when Broughton and Ainslie Park High School were merged.
