What's on in Craigleith

Craigleith sits quietly in the shadow of the Pentland Hills where the air is always a little fresher than down in the city centre. There are no famous stage names or grand halls here, but the local community centres and village halls run plenty of fun things for families to enjoy. It's a spot where neighbours actually know each other's names and you can find a gathering without having to drive across the whole region. The odd market stall appears on a Saturday and keeps the high street lively enough for anyone passing by with a basket. You don't need to plan far ahead because there is usually a bit of entertainment tucked away somewhere in this corner of Edinburgh. It's the kind of place where you drop by for a chat and end up staying for an hour just watching what's going on.
