Buccleuch Place

I am not sure what to review about Buccleuch place since its not a store but lets give it ago and see how I get on with this: D
Buccleuch Place, located just behind George Square, As University Of Edinburgh owns many of the buildings there are classes taking place, in addition to the university main library so there is always lots of students passing by, gatherings and so on, most of the building here if not all have access for disabled people.
The buildings are architecturally attractive not only when its sunny during the day but also when it rains.
Parking is available whether you have a car or a bus, often trips and fun days starts from Buccleuch place, as a gathering point for tour guides with large groups or during the summer to go to the Meadows, this place host all of them.
Like any other parking space in the city you have to pay, during the days it is not always busy however, during the hours that you don’t have pay especially w-​end nights it is quite busy, therefore come early in the evening to ensure your parking space.
The parking guards are regular visitors if not habitats of this place! :D
so, If there is a chance of you being late, Dont Take That Risk!
Make sure its possible to pay through your smart phone otherwise be prepared for a useless running session.
This place is quite save during the whole year, the amount of times I lost a scarf, pair of gloves (losing pair of gloves in winters is a tradition) I usually find them. so if you lost something in Buccleuch place, all you need to do is to come back, This might not be applied on very valuable things…
So in short, Buccleuch place is an amazing place, I just sometime wish it was easier to pronounce the place name (Buccleuch). Whether you are native English speaker or not, don’t worry if you struggle to pronounce it.

Classrooms are dated…
Is overflow from George Square…
Cobble and stone charm…

Yeah, yeah there’s all kinds of character going on here. The streets are cobbled and the building feel totally unsafe as all buildings full of character should. And it was a nice place for the English department before we got our swanky new facilities. AND there’s Press Coffee and Rotato at the end, both excellent.
However, there is something I noticed which always struck me as a bit odd. All the old buildings that house the various departments have steps to get up to them. Some of them are in the basement, so they have steps down. And it’s only the careers service that has a wheelchair lift. So basically, if you’re in a wheelchair you can get advice about your career but you can’t learn to get the qualifications you require. It all seems a bit weird. Aside from that, it’s a lovely street, but that surely has to be rectified?

Buccleuch Place is another Edinburgh University hub. It’s tucked right behind George Square, and is where most students have tutorials, or where the academics’ offices are.
This square is where the old buildings still stand. The University didn’t manage to get to it and replace the buildings with modernist 60s concrete blocks. At least on the side closest to the Meadows. The other side is where the David Hume Tower, the George Square Library and the old anthropology building live.
There isn’t much else there but academic offices, Rotato and Press Coffee, though both Rotato and Press Coffee used to be great little independent shops: Press Coffee being a former second-​hand bookshop and Rotato, the former vegetarian café called Harlequins, where they made the best sandwiches and the best soup.

Buccleuch Place, located just behind George Square, is a street which hosts the hustle and bustle of the student community of Edinburgh University. As the university owns many of the buildings, Buccleuch Place has become a favourite location for tutorials and classes when rooms cannot be found in the usual, more popular areas.
And when you go to these tutorials, you will find, like I did, that the rooms will possibly have a slanted floor, are small and have a random assortment of chairs! Many of the staircases in the buildings and steep and do not have disabled access.
The buildings are architecturally stunning, and the cobbled street really does top it off. Located in the street is the University’s Career Service and furthermore many smaller departments are located in the street (including the department of Scottish History).
Parking is available, but you have to pay during the day and normally it is very busy. Also, some students are lucky enough to have flats on this road, so private leases are available.
A great street, and one which is admired by all who walk through it.
