Home / St Cecilia’s Hall
St Cecilia’s Hall is Scotland’s oldest purpose designed concert hall. It is located in the ‘Outstanding’ Old Town Conservation Area, is Category A listed and dates from around 1760. The building fronts onto the Cowgate, a main Edinburgh thoroughfare and is flanked to the west by Niddry Street and to the east by Dickson’s Close.
The redevelopment project aimed to transform St Cecilia’s Hall to make it fit-for-purpose as the principal destination for musical instrument display, teaching and performance and to be a key cultural and ceremonial space for the University. In particular the project:

The Caretaker Lodge to the north and the Newman Gallery to the east were constructed as part of the 1960s development. Archive drawings suggest that the building has been significantly altered throughout its life and most extensively during the 1960s development.
From a structural perspective, the redevelopment can be considered as three main operations:
