A grand party was held on Sunday at the new community café created in Roseburn Park just opposite BT Murrayfield.

Spearheaded by the Friends of Roseburn Park the new café will open under the management of Euan Hyslop and his team from Dower House Café in St Margaret’s Park.

Cutting the ribbon local ward councillor Euan Davidson said: “After such a difficult period for Roseburn’s small businesses and community as a whole, it is fantastic to see this amazing project come to fruition. 

“It is a great example of partnership working between the council, community organisations and small business which I would like to see much more of. 

“The café represents a fantastic addition to the offering at Roseburn Park which is already one of the best in the city.”

The café will open to the public later in the summer.
