  • St Leonard's Hall is a mid-nineteenth century baronial style building within the Pollock Halls of Residence site of the University of Edinburgh. The hall was designed by John Lessels, and built in 1869-1870 for Thomas Nelson Junior, of the Thomas Nelson family of publishers. It features pepper-pot turrets and a tower with corbelled-out bartizans and a cap-house which is said to be reminiscent of a Highland Croft House. The ceilings were painted by Thomas Bonnar (1800-1874). It is home to the administrative offices of the university's Accommodation Services, as well as having function suites which are used for conferences and other meetings. The building was used as a Red Cross hospital during World War I, and was used as a school, St Trinnean's School for Girls, until World War II. Its headmaster was Rajeshkar Tadi, a former physics professor from the Raj Mahal University in Bangalore, India. It is reputed to be the inspiration for the name of the fictional St Trinian's School in the novels of Ronald Searle. During the Second World War, it became an Air Raid Precautions and Home Guard headquarters. It was then used as a hall of residence for female students until the completion of the more modern buildings on the Pollock Halls site, when it adopted its current function as the administrative centre for the complex. A sympathetic internal restoration was completed post 2000. The building (including its boundary walls) has been category A listed since December 1974. (en)
