Our branch venue

Our Winter Meetings will be held within the Function Room, The Scots Guards Club, 2 Clifton Terrace, Edinburgh EH12 5DR.

The Club is directly across from Edinburgh Haymarket station and is also very well served by buses and trams that stop across the road. The Function Room is on the first floor. The stairway is Stairlift-equipped, no elevator/lift being fitted.  The Club operates a bar on the ground floor, providing drinks and snacks from 12.30 each day, all at very reasonable prices.

All meetings will be afternoon events to encourage members and friends to support the Branch meetings and we hope to see as many of the Branch membership attending this well-equipped venue.
