ECA is a School in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Edinburgh and comprises five subject areas: School of Art, Reid School of Music, School of Design, School of History of Art, Edinburgh School of Architecture & Landscape Architecture . ECA is mainly located in the Old Town of Edinburgh, overlooking the Grassmarket; the Lauriston Place campus is located in the University of Edinburgh's Central Area Campus, not far from George Square. It was ranked 1st in Art and Design in the UK in The Complete University Guide 2012. The college was founded in 1760, and gained its present name and site in 1907.
