No - it is Edinburgh Napier University's Business School campus - stunningly redeveloped a couple of years ago - or not - depending on your views on modern architecture. The originalVictorian building is still attached. This was built as a Hydropathic institute, but during WWI it became a psychiatric hospital; war poets Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon were both patients there. Later it became a teacher training college.
The egg shaped structure houses a lecture theatre. Interesting building and shadows. See more at Hey Harriet's Shadow Shot Sunday.

i liked the first photo, with that giant 'eye'. looks like a very nice place to study :)
What a fascinating building. We will be in Edinburgh later in the month, and we are hoping for some warm weather. However, living in subtropical Queensland, I guess I will have to pack my long-johns!
You captured some very cool shadows! A very interesting example of modern architecture indeed! :)

I love the contrast between the old and the new

That an awesome building to visit. Hmm... my daughter think, that's the place next for a visit.
Me & my fam love travelling. Edinburgh isn't far from STockholm but hard to visit §;-)
Your shots are AWESOME, Jacqui.
