Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh

A great venue for talks and lectures.
There’s one fantastic lecture theatre which is kitted out with all you need including a massive projector screen and microphones scattered through the audience. These make chairing a session a million times easier as you don’t have to wear yourself out legging it up and down the stairs with a mic. Other rooms can be used as lecture halls and I must say that I felt well fancy giving a talk surrounded by fancy art and statues in a room with amazing awnings, blood red carpet and fancy gold fixtures.
The catering they provide is also great. I’ve been here several times and it’s usually a selection of sandwiches that’s vast enough to suit everyone, some fresh fruit and various biscuits. The coffee is good, which is generally not expected when they’re catering for 150 odd people!
The foyer behind the lecture theatre is big, not decorated all the best but it’s big and comfortable. There’s a big cloakroom just off it, which is convenient but I imagine not very secure. When there’s a lot of people wandering in and out of the building it would be super easy to slip in there unnoticed.
Finally, the bathrooms are awesome… they’re super fancy!

I only ever come here when sitting exams and as such the place absolutely petrified me. That said it is a very impressive building with some great architecture and amazing history.
If you ever get a chance to have a look round do, but sitting exams in the grand hall with portraits of famous physicians staring down at you is quite intimidating.
