Photo Friday: George Heriot’s School
TGIF: It’s that time again, time for Photo Friday. Today we have a spooky night shot of .
It’s such a gorgeous building, opened in the 1600s as George Heriot’s hospital. George Heriot was a wealthy philanthropist and goldsmith who at the time donated for several buildings and structures in Edinburgh. He had no children, which may be why he gave so much for schools and universities.
The building’s architect was no other than famed Scottish mason William Wallace. The grounds aren’t open to the public, but you don’t need to go inside to admire the beauty of the building; it’s particularly lovely from the gates inside Greyfriar’s Kirkyard, especially at night.
