It's such an outstanding building, you can stand on Queensferry road and look down for about half a mile and see it at the end of the longest drive in the world. It's imposing and a real big part of history and the style of architecture would make any art student weep.

Trinity Academy is a secondary school located in the northern Edinburgh suburb of Trinity…read more The school is co-educational and comprehensive. It takes children from all over northern Edinburgh and its feeder primary schools are Bonnington, Fort, Victoria, Wardie and Trinity primaries. The school has a strict uniform policy which states pupils must always wear a tie and must also wear black trousers and jumpers. Also, shoes must be black. The school offers a variety of subjects within its departments including Maths, English, Science, Geography, History, Art, Home Economics and Craft Technology and Design. The school has excellent facilities including well equipped departments for CDT and Home Economics and also has a swimming pool. There are also many after-school activities offered by the school including Cookery, Homework Club and Art Group. The school is a popular one in Edinburgh and the fact the children by and large want to learn and improve themselves is a credit to the hard work put in by the staff.

It's so amazing, and pretty, and people are friendly, and they have all these cool events advertised (like a cheese party!!!).

Home to some of the ugliest buildings on earth (can I get a round of applause for Appleton Tower's…read moresheer foulness please?) the University of Edinburgh was the place of my 'further education'. Superficially the Uni does well in the league tables (23rd in the world I think) but the real student experience is pretty patchy. The main library is probably the best example of this. Spanning over six floors this building houses millions of books and resources but for some reason there never seemed to be any of the ones I wanted! At the beginning of every year at least one of my courses was complaining that their books hadn't been put on short loan and that keen students had already checked out the course work for the year. There was also a constant issue of people hogging computers, leaving their books and coats on the table and then heading off to Bristo Square for a leisurely lunch. Annoying! Nonetheless I did enjoy my studies at Edinburgh a lot. The uni attracts some brilliant lecturers especially in the History and Politics departments (my degree). Dr Day, Dr Cogliano and Dr Bates were my favourite historians although I would have to say that the international relations and politics of human rights courses were very impressive. In recent years the University has come out quite badly in 'student satisfaction' surveys primarily because of the time it took to get coursework marked and returned. As I left I could see that there were real efforts being made to reverse these patterns but as far as most of us were concerned it was a bit too little too late. Despite this I would still say that Edinburgh is a great University and I miss it a lot!
