Our venue on the day is in Edinburgh’s New Town, which our American visitors should note was built between the mid-18th and mid-19th centuries - a Georgian masterpiece of urban planning designed to relieve severe overcrowding in the medieval Old Town.
We recommend staying near the venue, which is near to Waverley train station and walkable to the Old Town.
