In Edinburgh
UNESCO World Heritage Site
A city with most listed buildings in the world, Edinburgh contains a huge UNESCO World Heritage site that includes both Old and New Town. Here, the organic picturesque Old Town contrasts with the rational New Town that is the largest Georgian planned town development in the world.
Edinburgh’s topography itself provides clarity on these two contrasting urban settings by separating them with a green valley.
Contemporary architecture
In the recent decades, a generation of contemporary architecture – subtle, clever, and daring – was sensitively incorporated into the precious heritage fabric of the city. Local architects and international stars such as Enric Miralles and Fosters made successful contributions to the cityscape.
A range of high quality housing, hotel, museum, and government projects are a frequent focus of the study trips to Scotland.

Further Afield
Falkirk
Further afield lies the engineering marvel of the Falkirk Wheel, and world record breaking bridges over the Forth, including UNESCO listed Forth Railway Bridge.
The largest equine sculpture in the world, the Kelpies, that required bespoke engineerixng solutions, is also located in Falkirk.
Glasgow
Glasgow, a more liberal neighbour of the capital offers further contemporary architecture explorations including structures by Zaha Hadid and Steven Holl. Here, the “starchitecture” sits alongside the world famous Glasgow School’s Art Nouveau movement headed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Worth a trip North
Coastal villages feature picturesque harbours and charming streets of traditional Scottish architecture, while Hadid’s and Gehry’s Maggie’s Centres present real little gems of contemporary architecture. Kengo Kuma’s new V&A museum in Dundee crowns the visit.
