Information
Join us for a guided tour within the beautiful grounds of Loretto School which will focus on some fascinating buildings that dominate the campus:
Pinkie House
The origins of Pinkie House date to the 14th-century with significant additions in the 15th-century being undertaken by Alexander Seton and further additions made in the early 17th-century. This fascinating building has enduring links to East Lothian’s rich cultural history. The famous Painted Gallery (1630) features one of the finest painted ceilings in Scotland, a rare survivor.
Loretto Chapel
Loretto Chapel is an exquisite building that was commissioned in 1892 and enlarged and remodelled, in a striking fashion, in 1964. There are memorials to former pupils who fell in the World Wars and memorial plaques to many others associated with the school.
Colin Thomson Hall
Designed and constructed in 1936 by Lorimer & Matthew, this gothic building was converted for use as a dance and movement studio.
Please note there are some steep stairs at both of these buildings.
