New College, School of Divinity at University of Edinburgh, Scotland
New College occupies a Gothic Revival building with a central tower and ornate architectural details on Mound Place in central Edinburgh.
The college opened in 1846 as an educational institution for the Free Church of Scotland, designed by architect William Henry Playfair.
The General Assembly Hall within the complex served as the Scottish Parliament's meeting chamber from 1999 until 2004.
The New College Library maintains the largest single-site collection of theological texts in the United Kingdom with extensive manuscript holdings.
The gothic revival Rainy Hall features a hammerbeam roof and detailed heraldry that reflects the institution's ecclesiastical foundations.
