History

Historians of the Royal High School attribute its birth to the flowering of the twelfth-century renaissance. Building on a century or more of schooling by the Augustinian Order at Edinburgh Castle, it began as, and in the continuity of its personnel may predate, the seminary of the Abbey of Holyrood, founded for Alwin and the canons by David I in 1128.[9] New technological discoveries allowed the development of the gothic style. ...

The Grammar School of the Church of Edinburgh, as it was known by the rectorship of Adam de Camis in 1378, grew into a church-run burgh institution providing a Latin education for the sons of burgess families, many of whom pursued careers in the Church.[10][11] In 1566, following the Reformation, Mary, Queen of Scots, transferred the High School from the control of the Abbey to the Town Council, and from about 1590 James VI accorded it royal patronage as the Schola Regia Edinensis.[12] For other uses, see Edinburgh (disambiguation). ...

Nations

The Nations system was introduced by the Rector, Dr. William J. Watson, in 1912. Pupils are divided into four school houses, known as Nations, named after the gentes or primordial peoples from the infancy of the Scottish state: Angles, Britons, Picts and Scots. Siblings are usually members of the same Nation. Pupils originally competed in rugby and cricket, the winning Nation being awarded the school shield for the annual session. Conceived as a character-building exercise, the arrangement was intended to foster a team spirit and encourage greater participation in physical activities. The competitive scheme proved popular with pupils and teachers and has since expanded to encompass a wide variety of games, sports, and other extra-curricular activities held throughout the year. Nation badges were introduced in 1928, and the Nations now compete for a trophy called the Crichton Cup.[17] The word rector (ruler, from the Latin regere) has a number of different meanings, but all of them indicate someone who is in charge of something. ... 1912 (MCMXII) was a leap year starting on Monday in the Gregorian calendar (or a leap year starting on Tuesday in the 13-day-slower Julian calendar). ...

Royal High School FP contact site (5416 words)
The Royal High was no centre of academic excellence, being a division or more beneath the major public schools of the Edinburgh Academy and Fettes and well down table of Heriots, George Watsons or the other nearest equivalents.
The school was wedded to a slapdash and arbitrary sense of discipline - a system the street wise or sly who might have needed the discipline could buck most of the time; a system that broke the meek who didn't need it.
At the Royal High it was simply time for the routine of exams and the race to see who could get the qualifications first to get out of this junior prison.
