The workshop dinner will be held at The Rowantree, a venue situated in the cowgate.
'The Rowantree, was originally home to the renowned Lucky Middlemiss Tavern, an oyster tavern of the Scottish Enlightenment era that saw literary greats and Enlightenment figures throng the watering hole. James Hutton, Robert Burns, David Hume, Adam Smith, Deacon Brodie, Watt and Benjamin Franklin were just some of the regulars, with Robert Louis Stevenson once describing it as “a rabbit warren not only by the numbers of its twist and turns, but by its dark stairs frequented by loiterers and such other such low characters and as treacherous a place as I saw.”'
After the meal there will be a traditional scottish ceilidh.
Please be at the venue by 7pm for the start of the drinks reception.
The address of the venue is: 253 -255, The Cowgate, Edinburgh EH1 1NN
Please note that this venue is located below southbridge and can be accessed from Infirmary Street.
If you are taking part in the walking tour excursion, there will be memebers of the local organising committee there to direct you towards the venue.
