Each September, "Doors
Open Days" are held throughout Scotland, as part of the Council of
Europe's Heritage Days.
Edinburgh's Civic Trust,
the Cockburn Association, helps to promote and finance this day, on which
the owners of about 60 public buildings in and around Edinburgh will open
their buildings, free of charge, to the public.
Different districts
select their own date for this event each year. Edinburgh has chosen
Saturday 27 September 2003..
A leaflet giving addresses and times for each of
the buildings open this year, together with brief background and
architectural details is available on the Cockburn Association
web
site, and from The Cockburn Association, Trunk's Close, 55
High Street, Edinburgh EH1 1SR. |
