Designed by the architect William Henry Playfair, this striking Victorian building was constructed between 1842 and 1851. Originally built as a hospital, it was funded by James Donaldson, a printer and bookseller, who left his fortune to provide education for poor children.

The building is now Category A listed.

Residents of Flat 63, 1 Donaldson Drive benefit from two underground parking spaces.

The city centre, with its excellent shopping and amenities, is just a short walk away.

The property is within the catchment area for Roseburn Primary School or St Mary’s RC Primary.

For secondary schools Craigmount High School and St Thomas of Aquin’s RC High School are both excellent local options.

In addition, several of Edinburgh’s leading independent schools are nearby, including Fettes College, Edinburgh Academy, ESMS, and St George’s School for Girls.
