Heritage Trail
- Distance: 5.9km (3.7 miles)
- Duration: 1.5-2 hours
Welcome to the Heriot-Watt University Heritage Trail
The Heritage Trail is designed to guide you through some of the history and art that is embroidered into the very fabric of the campus. We are extremely fortunate to have a wonderful blend of historical structures and features through to modern sculptures and buildings woven into such a beautiful landscape. The Heritage trail map will show you the route. There are 25 points of interest on this trail but so much more to appreciate as you meander through this specially designed trail.
We hope you enjoy the experience!
