18th-century courtyard to be finished

THE stunning vision of one of Scotland's greatest architectural masterpieces is to be finally realised after an anonymous donor gifted £1 million to the project.

Old College Quadrangle, University of Edinburgh, was designed by Robert Adam over 200 years ago but he died before it was completed.

Now new work – seen in images revealed yesterday – will complete the South Bridge courtyard thanks to the funding provided by the anonymous donor. Work will begin in September and is expected to be finished by April next year.
