​Colinton Local History Society

Colinton has its own Local History Society which normally meets on the first and third Monday of the month in the Loan Hall, Dreghorn Loan at 8pm.  The aim of the speaker programme is to amuse and educate us about Colinton and the surrounding area.

 Colinton Local History Society continues to meet via Zoom, with audiences of from 38 to 46 folk on each occasion. 
​We hope to return to in-person meetings at Dreghorn Loan Hall in the New Year. ​
