However you might just be able to make out an interesting wee building in front of the main school....it's a "Sitooterie" http://www.edinburgharchitecture.co.uk/saline_sitooterie_ciao.htm which was formerly a toilet outbuilding. [Sitooterie: noun (Scottish origin): A structure to sit out in - a quiet haven for contemplation.]
