I think, this was a castle in the old time, because it's very big and has a lot of paintings, and sculptures. Also the design of this building, and the perfect use of material, stones, and wood describes that this was an old castle.

Although it does look like it could be a castle, New College has actually never been a castle! Our spot on the Mound used to be home to Mary of Guise’s palace up until 1845 where it was demolished to build New College in 1846. The building, designed by William Playfair, was originally built to house the Free High Kirk congregation, eventually becoming home to us here at the School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh 😊 You can find out more about the history of New College on our exhibition website: exhibition.div.ed.ac.uk/

I enjoyed my time at New College. I did a BD(Hons) from 1994-1998.
