St Trinnean's School
St Trinnean's was a progressive girls' school in Edinburgh. It was founded in 1922 by its headmistress, Catherine Fraser Lee, who followed the Dalton Plan so that pupils could study what they wished and there was no homework. It was located at 10, Palmerston Road – the former home of Horatius Bonar – a minister and prodigious hymn writer. In 1925, it relocated to the grand mansion of St Leonard's Hall which had been built for the wealthy publisher, Thomas Nelson. In 1929, it had 122 day children and 38 boarders – pupils who lived at the school. When the Second World War broke out in 1939, the school evacuated to New Gala House – a mansion in Galashiels. Its pupils at that time included Jewish refugees of the Kindertransport. After the war, the school closed when Miss Fraser Lee retired in
