Sadly Santa’s Grotto has already sold out but you can still get tickets for the Elf Workshop when little ones will meet Christmas elves crafting their own Lino cut Christmas card.

There is a Christmas wreath workshop with the Keeper of the Landscape Thomas Unterdorfer between 2 and . The head chef David Millar will prepare a Christmas Feast if you need some inspiration ahead of Christmas itself on 15 and 17 December.

Roseburn to Union Canal

The council are making progress with the new walking and cycle path which will link from Roseburn at Russell Road to the Union Canal. One part has an innovative elevated section which will be suspended from the side of the green bridge over Gorgie Road.

It is a huge project with large land moving equipment involved and visible from the road. Here you get a sense of where it goes and what it may look like (although it may help to look at a map as the video progresses.)
