Hidden Gems in Edinburgh
Have you just moved to Edinburgh to embark on your student journey, or are you in your final year and tired of the same old plans?
United Kingdom
From a castle on an extinct volcano to the Edinburgh Fringe, the world’s largest arts festival, this city doesn’t do half measures. The famous whisky walks are proof of that! Need a recovery day? Stroll along the historic Royal Mile and hike up Arthur's Seat for the views, then find a cosy café like The Elephant House (where JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter!) and get stuck into the local shortbread. Visiting parents will love it. Chances are, you will too!
Arran House is one of three residences we have in Edinburgh. It’s just a 20-minute walk from the University of Edinburgh and Napier University, and a 25-minute bus ride from Heriot-Watt University. Wherever you’re studying, getting there will be a piece of cake.
Brae House is right on the cusp of the famous Royal Mile in the Old Town, close to Princes Street (great for big-name shops), Edinburgh Waverley train station and minutes from the Omni-Centre, which has great places to eat and a Vue cinema.
Canal Point is in a convenient city-centre location, putting you within easy reach of everything. Less than 15 minutes away, you'll have easy access to the University of Edinburgh, The Meadows, Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street, Cameo Cinema and The National Museum of Scotland!
These ensuite rooms and private studios sell out, year after year. No guesses why…
The Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle and the shops of Princes Street are just a 20-minute walk away. Same distance as the University of Edinburgh and Napier University. But why just sleep and run? There’s a great community here too. Hang out in the common room, games room and communal kitchen and you’ll find it. We also host regular wellbeing events, making sure there’s nothing between you and your best life.
Edinburgh knows how to party. Join in and we’ll give you a great place to come home to, right on the edge of the Old Town (parents love it!).
Princes Street is close by, along with the famous Royal Mile and the fantastic restaurants of the Omni-Centre are just minutes away.
Work to be done? We’ve got study rooms and Brae House is a 20-minute walk from Edinburgh Uni. Brain feeling foggy? Try a head-clearing hike up to the stunning views from nearby Arthur’s Seat.

Living less than 15 minutes from Edinburgh Uni takes the stress out of morning lectures – but adds a whole lot of great things to your student experience...
Nothing beats a lazy day in the nearby Meadows, one of Edinburgh’s best parks, and if you’re feeling cultural, there are art galleries and museums everywhere. The shops of Princes Street are close by and then there’s the famous nightlife – and you’re well-placed to make the most of it!
