What's on in Merchiston

Merchiston sits quietly beside the water and has always been a bit of a quiet sort in Edinburgh's book. There are usually some plays or readings happening nearby, and you can often find a market stall set up on a Saturday morning if you're feeling peckish. It is not far from the city centre, yet it feels like its own little world where locals know each other by name. The community hall tends to host something useful like a choir practice or a local club meeting that brings people together. Even when nothing specific is listed on the calendar, there is often a gathering or a talk going on somewhere down the road. We keep an eye on what is brewing so you don't have to hunt around for it yourself.
