Your expert guide Fraser Horn, founder of the Edinburgh Street Historians, will take you on a walk in the park and tell you about the surprising history of the place.

You'll hear how the Meadows has had a role to play in making the shape of modern Edinburgh. It's more than just a place to have a kick around and catch the sun.

This event is outside so wear appropriate clothing. It is accessible to those in wheelchairs as the ground is largely flat. The meeting place is in the clearing outside Uplands Roast, bookings are encouraged so we can have an idea of the numbers.

Additional Dates: 02 August 2025, 09 August 2025, 16 August 2025, 23 August 2025, 30 August 2025, 06 September 2025, 13 September 2025, 20 September 2025, 27 September 2025
