The Residences, on the Pollock Halls campus, is situated at the foot of the royal Holyrood Park and only a short walk to Edinburgh’s Royal Mile and other tourist attractions. 

Available to the public during the summer months when the University of Edinburgh students are on vacation, The Residences give you the chance to experience what it’s like to live in our historic city, or you can use it as a base to explore further afield.

From the end of May to the beginning of September, this is a perfect place from which to enjoy one of the world’s most iconic cities.
