This is a place that I have been dragged along to an endless number of never ending coffee mornings! In saying that, this place plays host to numerous other recreational activities for children and adults alike and should not be pigeon holed into 'coffee for the elderly'! Of a regular week, locals can be seen in here salsa dancing, singing folk music or minding the nippers whilst their mummys and daddys are hard at work. There is also a summer sports club in connection with the local primary school, thereby brining schoolchildren into the heart of this community as well as serving the more willing locals. With local advertisements as well, this is one of the places in Corstorphine that really promotes that community spirit and I don't think the locals would hesitate to agree with me there. read more

I always have boundless amounts of respect for places like this - it seems cliched to say it, but i love the idea of kids (and adults as well, oddly enough!) having somewhere to go to keep them off the streets. Most impressivly, this place manages to get a whole week of activities - ranging from dance classes to band practice - in its rooms, all of which remain perfectly functional for anything that they are used for. As is usually nessicary with these places however, you often find that they get commandeered by certain kids who dont always want to play nice, but such is life. read more
