One of my most Dark Academia 📖✒️ shots of St. Salvator's quad in the University of St Andrews. 

Taken in October of 2020, when the days were getting rainier and shorter and it was unusual to see students hanging around because of the pandemic. There are many elements of the dark academia aesthetic in what has been called "the most DA university." There are old stone and brick buildings with turrets and ivied walls, abandoned ruins of castles and cathedrals next to the sea, shadowy alleyways and secret passageways (one of which is known as 'murder alley,') etc. However, I think the cloudy skies really take it away.
