Best be-leaf it: Here’s a round up of Edi looking incredible this autumn
We really do live in the prettiest city in the UK
Viola BakerLet’s not lie, us Edi students get to live in the prettiest UK city. People might go on about the grandeur of Oxbridge colleges or the pretty cobbled streets of Durham, but Edinburgh wins hands down with our historical buildings, leafy parks and rolling hills.
But what makes the most beautiful city even more beautiful? When the leaves change colour and the whole of Edinburgh finds itself shrouded in a golden glow.
We asked you to send us your best Autumn 2020 Edinburgh snaps over on Instagram, and here are our favourites that capture the pure beauty of the autumn season in our beloved city.
Cambridge just left the chat.
A stunning golden glow
Whilst we might hate that it gets dark at 17:00 now, at least we have the beauty of a low sun hitting just the right spots to make up for it.
@lauramorrison02
Oh Edinburgh, you beauty.
@fionamariastorm
That golden glow.
@artic_archer
Golden hour really hits different.
@jenna_ih
The Meadows are more photogenic than I’ll ever be.
@murzimotashaw
Stunning.
Vibrant autumn leaves
Just when you thought The Meadows and Princes Street Gardens couldn’t get any prettier, all the leaves went and turned beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow.
@violabaker_

@jograay

Peng out of ten.
Beautiful autumnal skies
Sunsets and sunrises are definitely at their finest in the Autumn, and even during the day those Edinburgh skies look stunning.
@_annameehan_
The sky really does do bits.
@jadecarlyle
OMG YES.
@annafjortof
It looks like a painting.
