Campaigning for Edinburgh
A fascinating glimpse into the changing face of Edinburgh
2025 marks the Association’s 150th anniversary. To mark this, we have published a book, Campaigning for Edinburgh: The Cockburn Association 1875-2049, chronicling the Association’s history of active stewardship of the city, and looking forward imagining what the city might look like in 2049.
