Features of the Heriot-Watt Riccarton Campus

Most of the Heriot-Watt Riccarton Campus is quite picturesque. There are many exotic trees, and a wide range of wildlife. One of our staff members, Adrian Hurt, has taken a number of pictures of the wildlife on the campus. I like his pictures of a goose, a number of young cygnets, and a family of swans.

One kind of wildlife is particularly common. The Riccarton campus is overrun by rabbits. In the winter, the Riccarton rabbits seem to have an unusual mode of hibernation. Periodically, the swarms of rabbits seem to suddenly disappear. There is some speculation that at these times the rabbits are beset by armed opponents. Photographic evidence obtained by Adrian shows that the rabbits may be preparing their response.

Adrian has also obtained photographs indicating that our school's new Colin Maclaurin building may be concealing some hidden purpose. It is possible that this has something to do with strange transformations that the Riccarton rabbits have undergone near the Colin Maclaurin building. There are also unholy buses in the vicinity, although it is unclear if this is related.
