Darroch Court

Darroch Court

Darroch Court is one of the University of Edinburgh’s residences. The “flats” are located roughly 500m from the Mile and are very close to the city centre. This is a huge benefit over the last time as there will be no need for use of busses into town. Everything mostly is within walking distances.

Each “flat” has 5 rooms on each floor, 2 people in each room. 3 Bathrooms and 2 shower facilities. There is also a nice kitchenette and small eating area. Our kitchen was designated “Common Room” where will meet to practice and meetings after the show. I have also set up a small pub that sells beers to keep us going during these meetings... The “Pound Pub” as it has been aptly names is a pound for a beer.

There are laundry facilities as well as a linen exchange which happens twice a week. We will have all meals at the university mess hall which is a brisk walk down the road. Lots of exercise... generally able to walk off any meal.

First meal is supper and the hunger was starting to kick in after my earlier sandwich at Heathrow and now long digested. Off down the road to the mess hall. On my return I will unpack the clothes and kit.
