Circular panels, inscribed 1892, flank the central window. A central pediment breaks the eaves line and supports a sandstone statue of Youth holding the torch of learning. The entrance has a round arched, hood-moulded doorway (converted to a window around 1960) and a low stone balustrade above a flat-roofed porch. Clasping pilasters flank the projecting outer blocks. The former Craighall Road School (1891-93): A broadly symmetrical, three-storey and basement, fifteen-bay building of squared and snecked brown sandstone in the Renaissance style with some Venetian detailing, finished with contrasting polished red sandstone dressings. Later additions to the school (after 1964) are excluded from the listing (see Legal Exclusions below). Alterations and redecoration were carried out by Baxter Clark & Paul Architects (1991). The additions consist of a four-storey glazed stair link, a six-storey classroom block and adjoining two-storey 'podium style' block, an assembly/dining hall block, and a twin gymnasium hall with single-storey corridor link. The building comprises the four-storey former Craighall Road High School (1891-93) by George Craig, and flat-roofed additions (1958-64) adjoining to the east by Stanley Patrick Ross-Smith. Trinity Academy is a secondary school in the Victoria Park and Trinity area of North Edinburgh.
