Lost Shore Surf Resort

Lost Shore Surf Resort is the world’s first inland surf resort, based in Edinburgh, opening Autumn 2024. Whether you’re a first time surfer, want to hone your skills or catch the perfect barrel – there will be something for everyone! The state-of-the-art technology allows the size, power, and shape of the waves to be adjusted at the push of a button. No matter your level, you will always be able to find your perfect wave at Lost Shore Surf Resort.

Set within extensive grounds with access to woodland and canal-side walks, the resort has 53 luxury accommodation units made up of Hilltop Lodges as well as Waterfront Pods and Lodges (six fully accessible), sleeping up to eight people.

The exciting waterfront bar, café and restaurant, ‘Canteen’, with stunning views overlooking the Cove, will be a celebration of Scotland’s incredible independent food & drink scene. With guest kitchens rotating seasonally, there is always something new to try. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, grab a seat on the terrace or take a spot by the wood burning stove where you can relax and watch the world go by.

There is so much to do at the resort beyond surfing in the Cove. Try honing your surfing skills at the SurfSkate Academy or unwind in the wellness studio with a range of treatments available.

A trip to Lost Shore will allow you to mix family-fun, escapism, and adventure creating memories to last a lifetime.

Royal High School Preservation Trust/National Centre for Music

The Royal High School on Calton Hill became part of Edinburgh’s landscape in 1829. Designed by Thomas Hamilton, it stood proudly as a physical link between the city’s Old Town and New Town. Today it is both an exceptional example of the neo-classical architecture for which Edinburgh is famous and a testament to the importance that Scotland has long placed on access to excellence in education. Sustaining its historic significance as a symbol of Scotland’s commitment to recognising and supporting the talents of its people, regardless of wealth or privilege is as important as respecting the building’s architectural quality.

The Royal High School Preservation Trust was established to protect and preserve the building and to deliver a public use for it. Our overall architectural objective is to allow Hamilton’s building and its setting against Calton Hill to be seen as originally intended. At the same time, with the desire to leave a new cultural legacy equal to and as long-lasting as the city’s fathers’ original purpose 250 years ago, we plan to repurpose this magnificent building as a National Centre for Music.
