Just 21 aesthetic pictures of Edinburgh to motivate you not to drop out just yet
Living our most aesthetic uni life
Izzie ClarkeWe all know the value of a stunningly aesthetic pic – they carry their weight in Instagram likes and have us gripped watching “day in the life” student TikToks thinking “god if only I got up at 6am to go to the gym and do reading” as if a cool picture will change our lives. So, to combat this, and the midterm blues, we have compiled a selection of beautiful Edi pics for you to simply enjoy, free of expectation.
1. Was Old College the main reason I came to Edinburgh? Yes.
She is simply just stunning
2. The Matilda Djerf of uni buildings
Old College part 2: Electric Boogaloo
3. And now one from the back…
Feels a bit naughty seeing her from this angle…
4. Cheeky archway pic
Is the Old Medical School annoying and confusing to find classes in? Yes. Do we still love it? Also yes
5. I can’t even read and I love this picture
Joking, I can read – don’t be thick xoxo
6. A beautiful but dangerous place – I could do work, but I could also have a pint
Who knows what I’ll do???
7. Archway: Part two
It’s the cool tones and warm tones contrasting to create depth for me
8. Meet Old College’s older, and cooler sister – New College
This image alone will probably convince several hundred Americans to study in Edinburgh
9. McEwan Hall looking lovely – remember, if you fail your degree you’ll never get a cool grad pic outside
Now pull your socks up and do some work so you can actually graduate
10. The Clouds in this pic were paid models
Now I see why the skaters like it here so much
11. DHT? More like daring, head-turning and tantalising…
She’s a tall queen
12. Sunsets and spires – the dream combo
Count the cars in this pic to calm yourself down if you’re stressing about that midterm essay that still isn’t done
13. It’s giving 1920s glamour
The Dome does a stunning egg and cress sandwich I’ll have you know
14. Gloomy but cool – slight Twilight vibes?
Forkes could never
15. Pastel coloured houses have my heart
Oh to retire here with a little dog
16. Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place….
T Swift would approve
17. More leaves!!!!!!
The colours are actually stunning no one fight me on that
18. Another one
Just can’t get enough babe
19. Even if it’s cooler to live in New Town, Marchmont sunsets are so cute
Literally captured at the perfect point
20. Who could forget good old Arthur’s Seat!
He’s been here for 300million years and is still a pain in the arse to climb up and down
21. A view from above…
Ok, but how weird is it that we’re all just walking around and we’re so insignificant from this high up? Makes you think
