## Resource

Edinburgh Napier University is selling its historic Merchiston campus—once built around a 16th-century castle—to tackle an eight-million-pound budget shortfall and cut 70 jobs. The move signals a broader financial squeeze in Scottish higher education, fueled by falling international student numbers and soaring costs. While the campus sits in prime Edinburgh real estate, its aging RAAC structures could cost hundreds of millions to fix. The university is also eyeing partnerships with Queen Margaret University and Scotland’s Rural College, hinting at a potential merger. Officials stress they’re focused on future-proofing education amid funding uncertainty, with updates to come as plans evolve.
