St Leonard's Land is very well known to students of the University of Edinburgh. It has a swimming pool and is home to a gym and other sporting facilities. It offers good rates for membership as well. \n\nHowever, what most students won't know is that when this building originally opened in the 1970s, the main gym hall was described by one commentator as a 'Neo-Fascist gymnasium on the south side of Holyrood Road - its flights of steps a test of fitness!' Now, some students might have these thoughts when they are taking exams in the large halls in the building, but this was certainly not my first thoughts when I saw this building! \n\nThe building is one of the more modern ones in this area and is situated right across from the Moray House School of Education campus. It is only a five minute walk from George Square campus as well.
