Myreside

Myreside PavilionOverlooking the Myreside playing fields at the western end of the campus our Myreside Pavilion provides a social hub for members of the Watson's community.

Myreside exists to promote recreational, sporting and social activities among its membership, which includes former pupils, parents and staff.

The focal point for Watsonian sports sections, Myreside also acts as a venue for business lunches, day conferences, exhibitions, parties and special occasion dinners.

With fantastic views over our playing fields to Corstorphine Hill to the north, it provides a wonderful setting for a relaxing get-together with friends and colleagues.
