Events
You will find on this page more information about the many events (past and present) run by ourselves or various local or affiliated heritage organisations.
Founded in 1875, the Cockburn Association is the country’s oldest independent conservation charity and we need your assistance toward our continuing work of protecting, preserving and promoting the civic amenity and built and natural heritage of Edinburgh.
While tickets to many of these events are free, please do consider making a donation or even better, becoming a member.
