We were blessed with a warm evening for our first event since the Covid 19 crisis. Fifteen SBAA members took part in a historical brewery walk covering the ABBEYHILL area of Edinburgh. John Martin , our guide for the evening , came well prepared with a good selection of laminated photos that brought life back to the locations we visited on the walk.
The evening finished with hospitality at the BELLFIELD Brewery.
