Bristo Square

Bristo Square, Edinburgh, Scotland, was built in the early 20th century.

Bristo Square is owned by Edinburgh University and acts as a public space. It is commonly used by traceurs, skateboarders, rollerbladers and bmxers for recreational purposes. However, over the summer months Edinburgh University allow for the square to be used by the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for certain shows and stages. The square has been home to the udderBELLY for the last few years.[1]

The square was developed into its current form in 1983 to celebrate the University's tercentenary.[2]
