The Old Edinburgh Club

Each year the Old Edinburgh Club organises a programme of activities for members.

Lectures are given by guest speakers each month from October to March (the Winter Programme). They cover a wide variety of topics relating to Edinburgh's history and development.

All lectures take place in the Augustine United Church, 41 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh at 7.00pm. There is access for the disabled and an induction loop at the hall.

During the period from about April to July members have the opportunity to sign up for guided visits and walks (the Summer Programme).

Lectures are free to members and open to non-members paying a small fee (currently £2.00). There is an additional charge to members for summer visits.
