David Hume tower, Edinburgh University Edinburgh U iversity although an ancient foundation is swamped with unattractive buildings with in some cases a 1960s Eastern European/Soviet pre-modernist style. THe David Hume Tower is a case in point. Huttonian used to lecture in the lower reaches of this building but is now in more attractive surroundings. Ironically qwqhim, who posted this image on flickr describes the building as the 'nicer-looking of the two blocks in the George Square Campus' Thats rather like saying my pimple is more attractive than your boil.

The original George Square is a very good looking Georgian neighbourhood now overshadowed by these monstrosities.
