Gordon Aikman Lecture Theatre

The Gordon Aikman Lecture Theatre is a category B listed performing arts and lecture theatre located in the historic George Square in Edinburgh. Primarily operated as a lecture theatre for the University of Edinburgh, it is also used for general theatre performances, as well as being a designated Edinburgh Fringe Festival venue. In 2018 the university changed the name of the theatre—previously known as George Square Theatre—in memory of Gordon Aikman, a graduate of the university's business school who raised more than £500,000 for research funding into motor neurone disease.
