Drinks & Nightlife

Òran Mór is definitely a must-see, as it was once a beautiful historic church. Now it's a busy place, great for beer or whiskey, also offers live music.

The Cloisters (also known as The Undercroft) connect the East and West quadrangles and lead inside the Gilbert Scott Building to the stunning Bute Hall, where the University’s graduation ceremonies are held, and the Hunterian Museum. With their fluted columns and transverse ribbed vault, these impressive archways are an iconic part of the University, and have been seen onscreen in many films and TV shows including Cloud Atlas and Outlander.
