The Royal High School is one of the oldest schools in Scotland. It has a strong sense of history but prides itself on being very much a school of innovation. It is a non-denominational, 6-year comprehensive, with young people drawn from 4 catchment primary schools: Blackhall, Clermiston, Cramond and Davidson's Mains.
