Welcome


The Society was founded in 1920 with the object of providing opportunities for Welsh people in Edinburgh to meet socially and to continue their interest in the language and culture of Wales.

Membership is not restricted to those of Welsh origin. Anyone with an interest in Welsh culture is welcome to become a member and attend meetings.


Our 2024–25 season had already started informally, with thirteen of us enjoying a meeting at Cockenzie/Port Seton on Saturday 3 August, and we’ve enjoyed our usual “Croeso!” supper party at Mortonhall Golf Club – see the report at this link.

Thank you for bringing such generous gifts for the local food bank to our Harvest Festival service on Sunday 27 October. Chris and Margaret Brandie led this in their usual inspiring and thoughtful fashion and we all brought our best singing voices for this joyful occasion.

From our Programme page, you’ll see that our next meeting is a St Andrew’s night celebration at Priestfield Parish Church hall at 7:30pm on Friday 29 November – as it says in our latest Newsletter, the cost has been kept to £20 each, but Jennifer needs numbers by Monday 25 November! The newsletter also gives the good news that that there will be a wee party with gifts for the children after the Carol Service on 8 December, and Jennifer needs details of the children coming by 30 November.
