The road to enlightenment

The David Hume Tower is part of the University of Edinburgh's city centre campus and is located at the south-east corner of George Square. George Square is notable for not only being the first planned square in Edinburgh, but for being the first real suburban development outside of the city's southern wall - predating the development of Edinburgh's New Town, which immediately eclipsed it. Despite its apparent solidity it is a rickety building - not only does it move in the wind but the wind whistles through the building in a frankly rather terrifying manner.
