Our student accommodation in Edinburgh
Welcome to Edinburgh
Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh, is a proud city blending modern dynamism with heritage architecture, cobbled streets steeped in tradition and historic attractions. With its world-famous festivals and dramatic scenery, Edinburgh is also home to first class learning institutions, many with long and illustrious histories of academic achievement.
From the atmospheric cobbled streets of the Old Town to the beautiful Georgian avenues of the New Town, Edinburgh is a city of contrasts. Blending historic attractions, magnificent architecture and winding medieval streets, with secret gardens, fantastic shopping and a plethora of restaurants, bars and cafes.
The dramatic silhouette of Edinburgh Castle, one of Scotland’s most iconic attractions, dominates the skyline offering a stark contrast to the Scottish Parliament’s ultra-modern cutting edge building.
The Old City of Castle and Royal Mile loom at every turn; proud flags flying from ancient buildings – it’s easy to see why Edinburgh is listed as a World Heritage Site.
In the New Town lies busy Princes Street awash with shops, from the traditional Jenners Department Store to retailers offering the latest designer fashion labels, jewellery and technology, as well as chic restaurants and cafes to stop and watch the world go by.

Within the City there are regular, clean, modern buses that run on time and a City Tram system is under construction which will revolutionise transport in the local region. Since the centre of the City is relatively compact it is possible, within 15/20 minutes, to walk to most centrally located destinations. There are also bike routes, clean, well regulated and helpful taxi’s and many of the main roads through the City are wide boulevards, making driving as uncomplicated as possible.
