Our friends and neighbours across our western border need our help ! Dean Bowling Club Edinburgh will be celebrating its 125th anniversary next season. They have commissioned a 125 centenary badge to commemorate this milestone and they would like your help to source earlier versions for their archives.

The club have been trying to source these other badges from within their membership but are finding it difficult. Hopefully our followers can come up trumps for them.

So, If you have links to the Edinburgh neighbourhood of Comely Bank or know someone with a connection to the club who might have one or both of these badges in their possession please email the club, marked for the attention of club secretary Jim Moffat. [email protected]

Old Time is probably the most endangered Scottish dance style, but worth resurrecting. Come and have a go at something Scottish but different – not high-octane ceilidhs, nor Scottish country dancing, although quite a few of the dances are included in the ceilidh dance style repertoire.

Have you seen our Edinburgh shop window?

The team at our shop have done an amazing job dressing it up for Chinese New Year on 10th February...complete with Lanterns and Tartan Dragon!

The day of the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice marks the start of the year, and 2024 will be the year of the Wood Dragon. Dragons are considered a powerful sign in the Chinese Zodiac, so the year ahead may be exciting and dynamic!

Did you know we have a Chinese Scottish Tartan? Discover the tartan here ➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q02k7pyQ0
