The Old Royal High School is a A-listed building designed by Thomas Hamilton and completed in 1829. Located in Edinburgh's iconic landmark, Calton Hill as part of the Greek revival in Scotland. The building has been abandoned for about three decades as all proposals for future uses were constantly rejected. In 2021 it has been eventually approved to convert the historical building into a National Centre for Music This photograph represents the original Assembly Hall converted and refitted as a Debating Chamber for the Scottish Parliament in 1968.
