Craig House, Edinburgh

Craig House is a historic estate located on Easter Craiglockhart Hill in Edinburgh, Scotland, with origins dating back to the 16th century. Originally built for the Symsounes family, it has a rich history, including serving as a psychiatric hospital from the late 19th century until the early 1990s. The site was transformed into the Craighouse Campus of Edinburgh Napier University in 1996, offering courses in social sciences and music. Following its sale in 2011, the estate underwent redevelopment, facing community opposition due to plans for new residential units. Today, Craig House stands as a blend of historical architecture and modern living, making it an intriguing site for tourists and researchers alike.
