About New College

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.
