[2025 Edinburgh Attraction] Travel Guide for The University of Edinburgh (Updated May)

Strolling through the birthplace of the Harry Potter series—Edinburgh—feels like traveling through a time tunnel, allowing you to personally experience the rich history of this ancient city. From the Vennel viewpoint, you can overlook the entire city, with the towering Edinburgh Castle standing majestically on the rock, as if guarding this tranquil city. Entering the New College of the University of Edinburgh, I felt as if I had stepped into a temple of knowledge filled with the scent of books. The Gothic architecture, intersecting corridors, and staircases all exude a strong academic atmosphere. Here, I can feel the footsteps of countless students who have studied here. Climbing Calton Hill, I gazed at the vast sunset cityscape. Looking into the distance, surrounded by mountains, the ever-changing sea of clouds on the horizon creates a captivating scenic painting. Here, the charm of nature and culture deeply attracts me. Walking through Edinburgh is like a wonderful journey through time. Whether it's the majestic castle, the solemn and steady college, or the idyllic town, I deeply feel the unique historical and cultural atmosphere of this city, as if I am in a three-dimensional historical painting.

Edinburgh, UK. No matter the season, the stone buildings in Edinburgh are quite eye-catching, not because they are particularly colorful, but because these houses have been built for so long that the stone surfaces have turned somewhat black. Combined with the local damp and rainy weather, it makes the overall color uneven, which is characteristic of Edinburgh. Whether it's the ordinary streets or the University of Edinburgh, the houses are basically like this. Sitting outside a cafe and having a coffee, you can still look up to see such buildings. The overall impression is one of historical weight and reflects the city's long history.

Now, Edinburgh, which is only 8 degrees, is more suitable for these ancient stone buildings. The low temperature makes them more stable. In the city where plants are not developed, these old houses are the absolute protagonists. The designers of that era used shapes to adjust these hard brown houses. What is inexplicable is whether the University of Edinburgh has achieved the literary atmosphere of this city, or the humanistic atmosphere of this city has created this university.

Today (November 15th), the Edinburgh Christmas Market is open! We rushed to catch the first wave of Christmas vibes with friends! 💰Tickets: Search for 'edwinterfest' to find the official website, as direct links might be restricted. Both the Ferris wheel and roller coaster tickets can be purchased online. We also saw people buying tickets on-site at the ticket booth. Online, you can buy student tickets, and there are discounts for local Edinburgh addresses. It's unclear if there are any discounts on-site. 🌟Note: Online, you can only select 10:00, which means the market opens at 10 AM that day, and you can visit anytime after that. 🚙Entry: The market entrance is next to the National Gallery, opposite Uniqlo, and is very noticeable. (Both the Ferris wheel and roller coaster are inside the market.) 🎡Queue: The queue time for both attractions is about 20 minutes, and watching people scream above makes the wait less boring. 🎢The Ferris wheel goes around three times, offering a great view of Edinburgh from above. The roller coaster is 80 meters high and lasts about 3 minutes. It's very windy and cold up there, so dress warmly. The centrifugal force is strong, so be careful with your phone. If you want to take photos, consider using a phone strap for safety! 🎆The market is also great for strolling! There are many food stalls and small trinkets to buy. 🌇It's highly recommended to visit at dusk or in the evening when the Christmas atmosphere in Edinburgh is at its peak, making it incredibly beautiful! #Edinburgh #EdinburghUniversity #EdinburghTravel #Christmas #ChristmasMarket #UKTravel

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Today, I went for a walk around Edinburgh and saw a new building of the university, so I stopped to take some pictures for you. The old town atmosphere of this city is everywhere. New buildings always maintain their uniqueness. If you like architecture, you can walk around this city all week and not get bored. As for me, I walk 20,000 steps almost every day. I walk until my back hurts. I can eat fried food but my weight doesn't go up. 😁😁😁

Depart from London, head north via Cambridge and York, enter Scotland, and arrive at the first stop, Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Edinburgh is located on the south coast of the Firth of Forth on the east coast of Scotland. It is the seventh largest city in the UK and an important cultural, tourism and business center in Scotland. I have been here twice before, but it was a long time ago, so this time it is a review! Edinburgh has a long history and rich cultural heritage. It is an important city in Scottish history and was once the capital of the Kingdom of Scotland. Edinburgh has many historical buildings and monuments. The main attractions include Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, St. Giles Cathedral, Royal Mile, Scott Monument, Calton Hill, University of Edinburgh, etc. These buildings are enough to witness the history and culture of Scotland. Scotland is also the hometown of whiskey, and the Scottish Highlands are rich in whiskey. On the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, near Edinburgh Castle, there is the Scotch Whisky Experience, which is a good place for whiskey lovers to taste and learn more about Scotch whiskey. There is also a restaurant here where you can eat authentic Scottish dishes and pair them with authentic whiskey. If you want to taste pure Scotch whiskey and explore its mystery, don't miss it. In general, Edinburgh is a city full of historical and cultural charm, with rich tourism resources and high-quality education resources. It is a must-visit city in Scotland.

#Family Travel Want to experience the rich academic atmosphere of a century-old prestigious university? Why not bring your children to the University of Edinburgh! 👩🎓👫 This historic campus, built in 1583, features majestic Gothic architecture everywhere.

They can step onto the stairs of the library and carefully appreciate the heavy ancient books and documents on the shelves; they can also run and play on the lawn, as if they are part of the campus. Parents and children may want to come here to experience what it’s like to be a college student for a day! I believe this historic campus will leave you with unique memories. 🧙♀️✨ #EdinburghUniversity #CenturyFamousUniversity #GothicCampus #HogwartsStyle #Parent-ChildStudyFun

During the short day and a half I spent in Edinburgh, I used a day pass to ride various buses through the streets and alleys by the ancient castle under Calton Hill and along Princes Street, where in the misty rain I felt as if I had entered a fairy-tale world. In the autumn of 1986, I first arrived at the University of Edinburgh's English department to study for a master's degree in modern linguistics. This is a prestigious European university with a history of over four hundred years and alumni like Darwin. At that time, my English proficiency was limited to listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and I knew very little about modern linguistic theory. It was at the University of Edinburgh that I gained the ability to analyze language style and was exposed to the works of some famous British and Irish writers. Among the many teachers, the one who left the deepest impression on me was Professor Black, who drove from Glasgow twice a week for her tutorial-style classes. Now, 38 years have passed, and I have long since taken to the lectern at foreign universities, explaining different styles, rhetorical contexts, and rhetorical analysis to my students. This brief return to Edinburgh was not only a return to the place where I had lived for a year, to see the familiar streets, castles, and statues of famous people on the sidewalks, but also a reminiscence of my busy student life, absorbing knowledge like a sponge. In the mid-1980s, China was still very poor. I remember that at that time, China's foreign exchange earnings were mainly from exporting shoes, selling soy sauce, and small commodities. There were very few Chinese students abroad. I recall that once on Calton Hill, a local Scot asked me if I came from Tokyo. I encountered similar assumptions in Paris on a Seine river cruise, where I was also mistaken for Japanese. At the same time, I also remember that Chinese people, including Chinese students abroad, suffered quite a bit of discrimination. I once met a Scottish father and son on the street; the boy, about five or six years old, pointed at me and said, 'He is a China man,' while the father, holding the child's hand, remained silent. In English, this term is equivalent to pointing at a black person and calling him a 'black X.' Even worse, at a celebration of the friendship between Xi'an and Edinburgh held at the city hall, a Scot publicly mocked a young pianist from Shanghai, saying he played the piano as if he were hitting the keys with bricks, and the distinguished guests below laughed without care. A professor from Taiwan who taught in the East Asian department at the university mocked the mainland Chinese students' use of words, saying, 'Isn't the term 'lover' that you use just another word for mistress?' Nearly 40 years have passed, and China has risen. There are now large numbers of Chinese students and tourists all over the world, and the era of casually belittling and mocking Chinese people and China is gone forever. As the afternoon progressed, the fog grew thicker, and the drizzling rain added a lot of mystery to the city. Some pedestrians opened their umbrellas, but many more seemed to enjoy walking in the misty Edinburgh. People slowed down, some even sat on the benches at the edge of the Princes Street Gardens lawn, admiring the beautiful rain-soaked scene before them. And in my heart, there was an impulse; since I had already entered this fairy-tale world, why not let myself blend into this beautiful scene and become another splash of color?

This capital of Scotland, although its most prominent city feature is the grey stone buildings, seems to have a bit of color with the accompaniment of spring flowers. Speaking of Edinburgh, apart from the well-known University of Edinburgh, it is relatively a very inclusive place, which probably has a lot to do with the very local culture, after all, it is the birthplace of Scottish history. Here, if you don't mind the walk, you can basically reach all the attractions on foot. Although the architectural styles and colors are quite similar, they reflect different historical eras, because Edinburgh was already established in the 14th century. The culture that has been precipitated over such a long time is, in one way, preserved through its buildings, so the castles and university lecture halls present different cultural characteristics.

A place forgotten by God. The Sky City of Wenzhou, Jin Must rush!! Location: Wenzhou Dongtou . Direct navigation can reach the top of the mountain, departure from Wenzhou city area: 1.30 hours. There are mountain roads, which are relatively narrow, and some places can only pass one car. But overall it's easy to drive, rest assured to go up, the whole way is beautiful! :The scenic area does not charge entrance fees, R. The scenery is really beautiful, there is a feeling of a sky garden, because there is still a sea of fog below, a fairyland. :The navigation is directly to the top of the mountain scenic spot, there is a parking lot, it has not been fully developed now, so there are few people, very unpopular. PS:! The castle check-in area must go, we almost missed it, because it is not visible on the top of the mountain, it is relatively hidden. It's on a small road marked by a sign, walk in, about 10 minutes walk you can see it, - must check in and take pictures, it's really amazing! . Refer to the last picture 'Sky Gate'. :This place has a super large terrace, when the weather is comfortable, you can bring a tent and barbecue to have a grand camping picnic party here! But be sure to clean up! Protect nature. Summary: Recommendation index*****. Those who love natural beauty must come, it's really shocking, and there are few people to take pictures, must rush for me!

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Founded in the 14th century, the University of Edinburgh was established in the 16th century. In winter, Edinburgh loses its greenery, which slightly affects the overall feel, but not much. Because even in summer, the main color here is composed of these gray-brown stone buildings, and the green is just a foil. The 'antique' feeling is the representative of this city. You don't need to drive or ride a bike, just walk, and you can basically stroll around Edinburgh. Except for Edinburgh Castle, because you need to climb to see it.

The University of Edinburgh was founded in 1583. It is the sixth oldest existing university in the UK and one of the four classical universities in Scotland. Classical universities are universities established in the Middle Ages and Renaissance and continue to this day. If you go to Oxford, you will visit the University of Oxford, if you go to Cambridge, you will visit the University of Cambridge, and of course, if you go to Edinburgh, you will also visit the University of Edinburgh! The University of Edinburgh does not require a ticket to enter like the University of Oxford and Cambridge. You can enter the campus at will. The University of Edinburgh has 5 campuses, located in the city and suburbs of Edinburgh. This time I mainly went to the central campus. (Old College), George Square, Bristol Square and McEwan Hall (Central Area). The buildings in that area are very retro and beautiful. From the entrance Walking into the campus feels like going back to the Renaissance! Personally, I think the Old College and McEwan Hall are both great places worth visiting and taking beautiful photos. I highly recommend them!

This is where the popular academician Zhong Nanshan went to school. The city of Edinburgh: This is a place that makes people linger. This city has a strong magical atmosphere. There are retro churches and luxurious and exquisite buildings everywhere, which are full of the breath of time. The very famous Harry Potter was inspired by this place, as well as Sherlock Holmes, the favorite of Detective Conan. There is a famous book, but few people know that the book is called "The Wealth of Nations". People who know this book should be very knowledgeable. There is also an author's hometown here. He is the author of the book "On Human Nature". People who like to drink all kinds of famous wines must come here to visit, because you don't want to leave here. Some people say that Edinburgh can produce very top-quality whiskey. The very famous University of Edinburgh: The place where the popular academician Zhong Nanshan went to school before. Experience the magical attraction of the world's top advanced learning holy land. I think you will definitely have a new perspective on the perfect blend of science and art. It is said that the author of Harry Potter got his inspiration in Edinburgh, and also wrote his book, Harry Potter, here, but the author himself never said this to the public. The author only talked about enjoying afternoon tea here. Yes, yes, I remember there are many places selling props in Harry Potter here. There are a few Harry Potter fans who can resist the charm of this city. I recommend you to visit and eat here for a few hours. There is also a very famous castle here. Many movies and TV series are filmed here because it is very beautiful. In the past, it was particularly interesting that many people would do it, that is, on the clean and vast grass under the castle, to experience the natural fruit party. Many aborigines would also travel here, so it is necessary to come earlier to occupy a position. And the view here is very good, you can see the whole picture of the city of Edinburgh, and the most important thing is of course the church.
