An Old School

The Royal High School of Edinburgh is a very old school

Located on the southern edge of Calton Hill, the Royal High School of Edinburgh was built in 1829. The Greek Doric columns are based on the Temple of Theseus, overlooking Athens. Until recently, the Edinburgh version overlooked a bus depot!!

James Pillans invented the blackboard and coloured chalks at the High School. Other examples of how Scotland invented the modern world are eloquently explained here ;-)
