Celebrating 150 Years of the Cockburn Association
Join us for a special guest speaker event with Cliff Hague and Richard Rodger, marking the 150th anniversary of The Cockburn Association, Edinburgh’s civic trust.
Together they will explore the themes of their new book, Campaigning for Edinburgh — a powerful reflection on the city’s past, present and future, inspired by Henry Cockburn’s enduring question:
What will Edinburgh look like in 2049?
This is a fantastic opportunity to hear from two leading voices in urban planning and civic heritage, as they discuss citizen-led stewardship and the future of our capital.
🍷The event will be followed by a Q&A and wine reception.
