© Trustees of the National Library of Scotland The Abbey College building in , , was originally a Cistercian house, then from 16th century the home to the Kerr family. Philip Kerr, 11th Marquis of Lothian, gave the property to the nation in 1936 to be used as a residential college for adults with limited previous academic achievement. The college provides broad courses in liberal studies. Many students use the experience and qualifications from College to go on to further education. The college has also provided a wide range of short courses and summer schools.

The college is run principally by a warden and bursar whilst being overseen by a Board of Governors. Notable people connected to Newbattle Abbey College includes Edwin Muir as warden, George Mackay Brown as a student and Professor Norman ‘Derry’ Jeffares as tutor.
