About Royal High Primary School
The Royal High Primary School can trace its formation back to the 12th century renaissance. The first historical records of the existence of a Royal High School in Edinburgh can be traced back almost 900 years to the seminary of Holyrood Abbey founded for Alwin and the Augustinian Canons by David 1 in 1128. Through the centuries, the Royal High School has been located at many sites throughout Edinburgh, including the Vennel of the Church of St. Mary in the Fields (1503 – 1516); Kirk o’ Field Wynd (1516–1555); Cardinal Beaton’s House in Blackfriars Wynd (1555–1569); the Collegiate Church of St. Giles or St. Mary in the Fields (1569–1578); Blackfriars monastery (1578–1777); High School Yards (1777–1829); the famous Regent Road building on Calton Hill (1829–1968); and Jock’s Lodge (1931–1972) which is our school in Northfield Broadway.
