  • The University of Edinburgh Heritage Trail Welcome
    THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH HERITAGE TRAIL WELCOME Since its foundation in 1583 the University of Edinburgh has been strongly linked to the city itself. Today the University’s iconic buildings form part of the historic fabric of the city, and represent a key element of Edinburgh’s World Heritage Site. It was in 1995 that the Old and the New Towns of Edinburgh were inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, recognising the unique quality and contrast in architecture between the two sides of the city. The University’s buildings reflect that historical and architectural importance, and were often at the centre of events in Edinburgh’s and Scotland’s history. Many famous and distinguished people have also been associated with the University, including scientists Charles Darwin and Joseph Black, authors Sir Walter Scott, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Robert Louis Stevenson, and pioneers for women in medicine Sophia Jex-Blake and Elsie Inglis. Use this trail to guide you around some of the most significant buildings on the University of Edinburgh’s campus, explore the city’s unique built heritage and discover the hidden history behind its stone facades. Historical images courtesy of the University of Edinburgh Special Collections, except where otherwise stated OtherOther places places to explore…… to explore a) The Pleasance – a complex built 1925–1938 for the Pleasance Trust, incorporating an older Quakers Hall and graveyard, and now a student union and major Festival Fringe venue. b) Chisholm House – built in 1764 and typical of the surgeons’ houses that would once have occupied the square.
