Merchiston Castle School
Merchiston Castle School is an independent school for boys in the suburb of Colinton in Edinburgh, Scotland. It has around 470 pupils and is open to boys between the ages of 7 and 18 as either boarders or day pupils; it was modelled after English public schools. It is divided into Merchiston Juniors (ages 7–13), Middle Years (ages 13–16) and a Sixth Form.
== History ==
In May 1833, Charles Chalmers took a lease of Merchiston Castle (the former home of John Napier, the inventor of logarithms) — which at that time stood in rural surroundings — and opened his academy, starting with thirty boys.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Merchiston Castle School )〕
Over time, the number of pupils grew and the Merchiston Castle became too small to accommodate the school. In 1930, the governors decided to move the school to Colinton House four miles south-west of Edinburgh in Colinton.
Three years later, in 1933, Merchiston celebrated its centenary, attended by the Duke and Duchess of York.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Merchiston marks the arrival of Prince George )〕 Fifty years on, in 1983, at a time of further expansion and with 350 boys on the roll, their daughter, now Queen Elizabeth II, visited the school for its 150th anniversary.〔
