When William Playfair was commissioned to complete unfinished university buildings in 1817, the stunning barrel-vaulted neoclassical ceiling of the 190-ft library hall was his masterpiece.  

Regarded as one of Scotland's finest public rooms, this grand room plays host to many prestigious concerts, exhibitions, launches and receptions.
