General Assembly Hall of the Church of Scotland

The back of the Hall facing Castlehill was extended east by J. M. Dick Peddie in 1885, with further work in 1901-3.

[2] The Black and White Corridor occupies space on the north side and is so-named because of its distinctive chequered floor tiling.

The access to this facility was via a new glazed porch, discreetly placed in the SW corner of Mylne's Court off the Lawnmarket in the midst of some of the University of Edinburgh's Halls of Residence.

The Church of Scotland used the Edinburgh International Conference Centre for the 1999 General Assembly and the Usher Hall in 2001.

[7] The first dramatic success of the Edinburgh International Festival happened in 1948 and it was staged to great acclaim at the Assembly Hall on the Mound — an adaptation of Sir David Lyndsay's The Thrie Estaites, the first performance of this play since 1552.

[8] During the 1993 Festival, Alastair Cording's adaptation of Lewis Grassic Gibbon's A Scots Quair trilogy was produced in the Assembly Hall by TAG Theatre Company.
