Tazio Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 If people are interested in actually getting in about Edinburgh history then it's the Cockburn Association open day on the weekend of the 29th and 30th. Free access to a great number of buildings around Edinburgh that the public don't normally have access to. http://www.doorsopendays.org.uk/find-a-building/?area=7511 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old tam who ran it back then was a good Jambo. I mind when his pals laddie was the head barman, he staged a robbery after closing 1 night with another guy and split the cash, however he admitted to the police what happened and was lucky not to get time.
