For me, it is fantastic that the Meadows is so near the George Square campus of the University of Edinburgh. Fresh air and exercise are the best things when one is stuck on a problem, tired from reading too long, or looking for inspiration. And as I am often in one of the three situations named above, the Meadows is now my favourite place in the city. The downside is that it is rarely sunny in winter in Edinburgh, and the wind can sometimes be very strong. Rainproof coats and wellington boots are therefore a must.
