About the location (Trinity, Edinburgh)

Views/Outlook

Big windows let sunlight into the flat throughout the day, with beautiful sunsets from the living area. The views stretch across north Edinburgh to the iconic Forth Bridges (both the historic rail bridge and the road bridge) on a clear day, out to the hills on the edge of the city including the Hillend ski slope, and towards Fettes College a the Gothic tower often said locally to have been an inspiration for Hogwarts. The flight path into Edinburgh Airport also passes overhead, quiet enough not to disturb but a nice touch for anyone who likes watching planes come in to land.
