Playfair Library

BREATHTAKINGLY ELEGANT, INFINITELY IMPRESSIVE

When William Playfair was commissioned to complete unfinished university buildings in 1817, the stunning barrel-vaulted neoclassical ceiling of the 190-ft library hall was his masterpiece.

Located within the Old College quadrangle, the stunning library now provides space to host up to 250 delegates theatre-style, 200 dinner guests or a reception for 450 people. The lower floor of the Old College contains four additional meeting rooms, making it suitable for meetings, large presentations, conferences, exclusive dinners, and celebrations.
