Heriot Watt Student Union

Heriot-Watt University's Student Union at the Riccarton campus is the on-campus social and food hub for one of Scotland's major science and engineering universities, set on its own self-contained estate on the south-western edge of Edinburgh. The Union runs Libertys, a barista cafe serving filled rolls, soups, cakes, pastries, and vegan-friendly options, alongside Geordies, a bar and kitchen with a student-facing lunch and evening menu. The Student Shop offers grab-and-go sandwiches, sushi, and a £3.49 meal deal. Across the campus, Hospitality Services operates Costa and Starbucks outlets. The Union building sits behind Leonard Horner halls and is primarily intended for students and staff, though the campus itself is accessible to the public. University term calendar dictates opening patterns, with reduced hours outside semesters. The primary food and social resource for Heriot-Watt's Edinburgh student population.
