Welcome to Edinburgh! The capital of Scotland will be your home from home for the next few years, and what a great place to live. Whilst the University, the sixth oldest in the English-speaking world and one of the most respected institutions for higher education in the UK, it’s also positively brimming with some of the finest nightlife in Scotland. Sneaky Pete's, The Liquid Room, and La Belle Angele always host great club nights and live gigs, with the occasional mammoth festival taking place at the Royal Highland Centre. Also, keep an eye on Colours and Nightvision for some of the biggest rave-ups in the city.
