This Sunday 8 September 2019 at the Colinton Inn they are holding the second half of a defibrillator fundraiser.

There will be music from Muckle Flugga, a Q&A with Heart of Midlothian FC, a CPR demonstration and a BBQ, Raffle and auction.

If you have any items to donate as prizes for the raffle then you can hand them into the bar.

This is the second half as the response for the first fundraiser was so overwhelming. A customer, Andy Arnot, sadly took ill at the Colinton Inn and died in December 2016. The fundraising for a defibrillator began not long after he died. Locals at the pub encouraged the pub to start a fund. The landlords Craig McLaren and Amy Buchanan took on the challenge.

The life saving equipment will be placed outside and registered with the Scottish Ambulance Service.
