Cambridge Society of Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom

The Society has a varied programme of events each year, including talks by eminent Cantabrigians, a garden party and an annual dinner where often the master of a college will speak. We meet with the Footlights cast during the Edinburgh Fringe. Also taking place are a leavers' reception to help support those about to come down, and visits to places of special interest such as the King's Gallery at Holyrood, Dovecot Studios and the Scottish Parliament. There is a Cambridge alumnus at many venues who helps to get the society behind the scenes. Walking tours of Edinburgh are popular. We also have various celebratory get-togethers, some with our Oxford friends, including a quiz, the Boat Race and Christmas drinks.

Latest details are given under the Group Events tab.

Membership is free and is open to any Cambridge alumni regardless of where they live.

CamScot is an access initiative set up by one of our members to encourage more Scottish school pupils to apply to Cambridge and to support them during the application process.
