A Glimpse into Fettes College, Edinburgh: A Private Scottish School in the Late 1940s This photographic print by Bryan de Grineau offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of Fettes College, a prestigious private and independent school located in Edinburgh, Scotland, during the late 1940s.

The central common room, elegantly furnished with armchairs, a grand piano, and a billiard table, serves as a perfect setting for intellectual pursuits and social gatherings. The bottom image reveals a dormitory in Kimmerghame House, where younger pupils resided. The Morse-Box style bed cubicles, a common feature in traditional Scottish schools, provided each student with a private space for sleeping and studying.

Fettes College, founded in 1870, has a rich history and a strong commitment to academic excellence, character development, and the nurturing of future leaders.
