The campus is based in the small and historical seaside town of Musselburgh, while also being only a short train ride away from Edinburgh’s city centre. It is only a 10-minute walk to Musselburgh town centre, where you can find many shops and traditional Scottish cafés; a very relaxing place to spend some free time.
