From January to December, we organise a really interesting social programme, just to introduce you to the city and get you out and about in an informal atmosphere. Outings are every couple of weeks. A recent programme included:

  • a Royal Mile tour (free)
  • a visit to the Royal Botanical Gardens (free)
  • a Conan Doyle-themed visit to the Medical Museum at Surgeons’ Hall (£5 entry + £5 for beer tasting)
  • a visit to South Queensferry (£4.70 bus ticket).
In addition to the ticket price, you can decide whether to have a coffee or a beer with the group towards the end of the visit.
