A Jacobean three storey school opened by Thomas Guthrie, a 'preacher and philanthropist' whose statue is in Princes Street, and one of the leaders of the 1843 Disruption. The gable to Ramsay Lane has hoodmoulded windows and carries the date 1850.
The door to Ramsay Lane has a sculpted stone in the shape of an open bible over it, with the inscription 'Search the Scriptures', quoted from the Book of John.
There is another shaped gable overlooking the courtyard of the Outlook Tower towards the main street. The ground floor of this building is now used as a shop for the Outlook Tower with a ground floor entrance from the courtyard. [from SCRAN]
For my about-to-turn-8 daughter.

It's "regular" size (i.e. not compact) and there should be room inside for a little notebook as well. If I did it again I might think about adding a plain, flat pocket on the back as well.

We found these pages stuffed into cracks in the the face of the mountains, in villages around Skardu (which is in the utmost north of Pakistan)
I'm not sure why the pages were placed there. We hypothesized that it was perhaps a respectful or traditional way of disposing of old or damaged copies of the Quran. In Karachi I know that people often throw them into the sea.
We also hypothesized that it could be a means of making a religious plea, or prayer.
Either could be wrong of course.

For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. Psalms 30:5
