Edinburgh Local Heritage Network Fair 2026

In attendance will be Edinburgh Printmakers, Hearts Heritage, Old Edinburgh Club, Edinburgh, Lothians and Border Police Historical Society, Old Town Association, Cramond Association, Corstorphine Trust, Citadel Arts Group, Edinburgh Archaeological Field Society, Cramond Heritage Trust, Cockburn Association, Lothian Postcard Club, Edinburgh Festival Volunteer Guides, The Museum of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, Costume Society Scotland, Bridgend Farmhouse, and the Greater Liberton History Group.
Running from 10am to 4pm, drop by for some interesting tales, items, and even some historic uniforms! The event will be held on the first floor of Central Library which is accessible via a lift.
This network is for local groups and societies with a focus on the heritage of Edinburgh. The purpose of this network is to develop and maintain partnerships between local heritage groups and with Council services (mainly Archives, Libraries, and Museums and Galleries) so they can better safeguard, enrich and promote the city’s heritage together.
The network meets quarterly and focuses on subjects of interest to local heritage groups. Groups can also raise any specific issues or questions facing them that network members might be able to help with.
