Jack the "Blipper"

By jackjack

Like a Loire château.........

Sir William Fettes, former Lord Provost of Edinburgh and wealthy city merchant, bequeathed the then very large sum of £166,000 to be set aside for the education of poor children and orphans.
After his death this was then used to acquire the land, to build the main building and found the school in 1870.
What a great guy........
If I win the lottery, I'm gonna build a Sports Centre providing free facilities and classes, although perhaps not in such a grand building!!
