Join us on Saturday, 7th November, to see and learn about a range of existing and former buildings, including housing and various forms of civic infrastructure.
The tour will be guided by the architectural historian Clive B. Fenton and the conservation architect Carsten Hermann, both committee members of Docomomo Scotland.
We'll meet at 12:30 on Kirk Brae at Liberton Fire Station -now demolished as reported in our last newsletter- and make our way southwards and then cutting across to Alnwickhill.
