It was designed by architect David Bryce, and completed (1864-70) in Scots Baronial style.

Bryce’s other major landmark building in Edinburgh is the Bank of Scotland high up on the Mound, on the north cliff of the Old Town, refurbished by Malcolm Fraser, 2004-2006

This Public School famously was where Tony Blair was educated. Key spaces in the school include the Callover Hall, the Chapel and the two Libraries.
