Course description

This beautiful college, built in the 16th Century, sits on the site of a 12th century abbey, founded by King David I of Scotland. Beautiful architecture can be seen throughout the college: from the impressive building façade to the 19th century chapel that holds the 16th century font in which Mary Queen of Scots was baptised. There are many original features and the drawing room and library are particularly elegant rooms. The classrooms are very attractive and overlook the beautiful grounds. The college has a mixture of high quality en-suite and standard accommodation, available in single, twin or triple rooms. Situated near the pretty town of Dalkeith, Edinburgh city centre is within easy reach by bus. This is for students ages 12-18 who want to study in a quiet and safe environment. Included are en-suite and standard rooms within easy reach of the city centre.
