Rooms with a view

The most significant building project since the School moved to Colinton in 1930 has now been completed. With the School now in possession of the new Sixth Form House, to be known as Laidlaw House in honour of its main benefactor, Housemasters and some boys are starting to move in.    In January the remaining Sixth Form boys will settle in to their new House. Here are some photos to give you an idea of what they can expect - en-suite bedrooms, great views of Edinburgh (some rooms have a view to Fife, others of Edinburgh Castle), spacious kitchens and large open plan social spaces.
