Founded in 1582, the University of Edinburgh is the sixth oldest university in the English-speaking world. The university is intricately woven into the fabric of the city of Edinburgh, and many of the notable buildings in the historic Old Town are part of the university. They include St Cecilia's Hall, the Scotland's oldest purpose-built concert hall; Teviot Row House, the world’s oldest purpose-built student union building; and the restored 17th-century Mylne's Court, now a student residence. The university has expanded its campuses to five more sites in Edinburgh: Central, King's Buildings, BioQuarter, Western General, and Easter Bush.
