Founded in 1846, New College occupies an important place in Edinburgh’s iconic skyline. Once the location of the palace of Mary of Guise (mother of Mary Queen of Scots), the College is now home to the University of Edinburgh’s School of Divinity. Treasures include the beautiful Rainy Hall and the New College Library.
Visitors are free to look around the building. Tour guides will be on hand to say more about the historical and architectural significance of the various rooms, and there will be a display of treasures from the Library.

There is no parking at New College itself, though metered parking is available nearby. Waverley Station is very close, as are bus and tram links on Princes Street.
