Jewel and Esk College was a further education college in the Lothians in Scotland. It had two campuses, located at Milton Road in Edinburgh and at Eskbank, Dalkeith, Midlothian.
In October 2012 the college merged with Edinburgh's other two FE colleges (Telford College and Stevenson College) to form a new entity called Edinburgh College. Jewel & Esk's campuses now form two of the four main sites of the new college.

Famous quotes containing the words jewel and/or college:
“The lakes are something which you are unprepared for; they lie up so high, exposed to the light, and the forest is diminished to a fine fringe on their edges, with here and there a blue mountain, like amethyst jewels set around some jewel of the first water,—so anterior, so superior, to all the changes that are to take place on their shores, even now civil and refined, and fair as they can ever be.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
