This is the Donaldson's School. Mag and I both pass it each day on our way to school/work. When we first saw it we both commented how much we envision Hogwarts from Harry Potter to look like it does. The great thing about it is that it is a school for deaf children. But the sad news is that it has been sold and classes will only be held there for 2 more years. There is some speculation that they are going to turn it into luxury flats, which would indeed be very luxurious. Don't get any ideas, Calvin...you're going to live in a much more humble abode.

I can't imagine passing a Hogwarts on my way anywhere! Are they open for tours? SLB

Unfortunately, no, they are not open for tours. There is, however, one day a year called "Open Doors Day" in which some of the more historic buildings around the city open for the public to meander through. That day was about two weeks ago, though.

I did discover yesterday that significant portions of Harry Potter was filmed in Edinburgh.

I mean significant portions of Harry Potter WERE filmed in Edinburgh.

Stupid grammar.
