The capital of Scotland, Edinburgh, is the second most important and economically strong city in the United Kingdom. In this city not only are there numerous national institutions such as the National Museum of Scotland and the National Library of Scotland, but growing economically in a rapid manner and its economy which is centred in banking and insurance, have persuaded many Scottish companies to move or establish their head offices there. Not only is Edinburgh an important economical city, but it also has a rich history and monuments, such as Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, the Canongate and the churches of St. Giles, Greyfriars.

Edinburgh Student Accommodation for students on a budget
A down side to this beautiful city is that the accommodation is rather expensive, but actually cheaper than London, which is a plus. The standard price for student accommodations circles around the £85-90 per week mark, considering this you do find cheaper flats nonetheless. For example there is a newly refurbished 6 bed flat at which the price per week comes as only £76, which considering the price I stated above, it is cheaper. Most of the properties that are found on our website (www.padsforstudents.co.uk) are posted especially for students, and so have different perks than the ones you find outside, for example the properties found on our website are in between 5-10 min walk to the Edinburgh University.
