For the The Pleasance Theatre please see The Pleasance (theatre)
The Pleasance is a street just outside the Old Town of Edinburgh, Scotland, a remnant of the town walls flanking the west side of the street between Drummond Street and the Cowgate. Historically, the street was one of the main routes into Edinburgh from the south, meeting St Mary's Wynd (now St Mary's Street) at St Mary's Wynd Port, one of the gateways of the town walls. The name derives from the Scots plesance, meaning a park or garden. It first appears in 1507 as the name of a nearby house and was later transferred to the street and then the suburb which was part of the regality of the Canongate. The derivation of the name from a nunnery of St Mary of Placentia, often mentioned in histories of Edinburgh, is an invention by William Maitland in his 1753 History of Edinburgh. The street is largely residential, although the University of Edinburgh owns property in the area.
The Pleasance contains a complex of university-owned buildings which, for nine months of the year, operate as one of the four Student Union venues that serve the Edinburgh University Students' Association. The Pleasance complex consists of two main bars: The Pleasance Bar and The Cabaret Bar; the Pleasance theatre (with a capacity of 320); and several rooms that can be booked out for society use. Two LCD tvs and a large projector also ensure that all major sporting events are shown in the main bar. The Pleasance is the only one of the four student unions to hold a public license which means anyone can gain access without having to be a university student or signed in by a member.

You travel an insouciant step Making love out o' nothing In a tone of Petite's throw at you sweet, Discrete in tights and The red of flame dancing in The shape of a question mark: Is your versifying with Reference to me? Oh, I skate forth, It's about the fragmented incomplete and incomprehensible. It's about the thousands of Little mosaics that spread out The image of Feminine twinkling via a glassy glimpse smashed bright, each one's into Itself like a conceded story welded Between the hard book covers of How dare I do what I dare do. So I say it's what's expected of me Grounded like the calm wind, Relaxed and slow-burn, I'm expected to have the directions to Going there and getting back from,...

Loved everything about this minsu, despite being fairly far from the attractions in Cingjing. • Green green grassland The place was beaaaautiful!!! Every angle was perfect for a photo because of the abundance of greenery and mountain. The sheeps were adorable!!!! Just something calming about watching them nomming the grass wherever they wobble to. Hahaha we even got to feed them! So fun! • Carton King Went to this place via the 487 steps trail which was more manageable than it sounds.

The place was beau...
