After the huge success of the tours in Easter, next week we are opening Laurison Gates once more for a week of guided tours as part of the We are all Geroge Heriot campaign

These Guided Tours will be back for 4 more days from 12-15 August.                                                                                                                  

Book your place now to uncover the story of George Heriot, Edinburgh’s famous Jeweller and Philanthropist and the 400-year legacy he inspired of ‘Distributing Chearfullie,’

Don’t miss this unique chance to admire examples of Scots Renaissance architecture at George Heriot’s School by exploring the heritage corner of the Old School building. Discover the Quadrangle, Chapel and the Council Room, each resonating with echoes of the past while still serving modern-day functions.

Tickets are limited, book early to avoid disappointment. Tickets are available here.
