Walking routes of Edinburgh campus

Life can get so busy, especially university life! Sometimes we can miss what is around us and whilst living at the Edinburgh campus I like to walk around to take in the scenery and appreciate where I'm living for the next year. It's an added bonus the campus is so pretty!
