Marchmont St Giles has been included in the great variety of buildings across Edinburgh which will be opening their doors to the public on Saturday 27th September as part Of Doors Open Day 2008 

Edinburgh Doors Open Day is organised by The Cockburn Association (Edinburgh's Civic Trust), in partnership with Edinburgh World Heritage.  Now in its 18th year, the event has become one of the Capital's most popular free days out. 

This is your chance to explore some of Edinburgh's most architecturally, culturally and socially significant buildings.  From heritage landmarks to the newest of the capital's architecture, Doors Open Day offers visitors free access to properties that are either not usually open to the public, or would normally charge an entry fee.

All venues feature behind the scenes tours, activities, exhibitions and/or talks which bring the history of the building and its everyday use to life.  Many sites organise additional free activities for children and families.  For more information please visit www.cockburnassociation.org.uk/doorsopenday
