Potterrow is the student union for Edinburgh University, and as such I expected it to be posher than posh, the playground for all the yah's that Edinburgh University seems to attract. But it was the complete opposite! the union looks like it has just escaped from the 60s, retro decor and a huge tree in the middle of the floor. It's a nice area to sit and try to do some work but it is always really busy, and the fresh air student radio programmes are held here so it's always quite noisy.\n\nSaturday night plays host to the Big Cheese in Potterrow - one of the best nights on a Saturday, in my opinion! The music comes straight from the 70s, 80s and 90s so it's great fun to sing along and re-live my youth. Although it's more or less the same music every week, so I try to go as little as I can so I can fully enjoy my night here. It's a great place to be for a student, but for a member of the general public...not so much
