Standing Building Recording (4 April 2013 - 15 April 2013)
NT 23601 75288 A standing building survey was carried out, 4–15 April 2013, of the former old gymnasium and concert hall to the NE of Fettes College prior to major restructuring work. Two original buildings were constructed within the complex in 1872 and these were slowly expanded over the next 150 years, with larger classrooms added in the 1950s. The main building to the SW was originally a gymnasium, although now is used as a concert hall. The rest of the older buildings are now used as classrooms, although older maps indicate that an L-shaped building to the NE was once a fives’ court.
