This pic shows the magnificent West Hall at UC which is used mostly as a lecture hall and for writing the dreaded exams. It is a fabulous space with much carving (there are 267 carved roundels along the top of the oak panelling showing faces, animals, monsters & geometric designs), stained glass, and just the scale of the place. I had never been in here before and I was awestruck!

Everything in this place is stunning!!!
It looks a location of a movie, it's so beautiful and well preserved.
Beautiful shot!
Lots to look at and study when a lecture gets boring...not that that ever happens. :)
This i have to see with my own eyes!
Perfect!!
This is lovely. I imagine the students, who are quaking over the exams they are taking, barely notice how fine the hall is.
Must be an amazing place.
I can see why you were awestruck. It's gorgeous.
Universities seem to take a perverse delight in holding exams in the loveliest surroundings. Ours does the same: http://occasionalscotland.blogspot.com/2010/05/exam-seasonto-end.html
