The 66th Edinburgh Boys Brigade, based at Muirhouse St Andrew’s Parish Church, had a stall at the first ever West Pilton and Muirhouse Gala yesterday. Captain Andrew Hay is hopeful that the company’s attendance at the event will help boost numbers, particularly with a special anniversary on the horizon.
Andrew said: “We have a catchment of both the Muirhouse and West Pilton areas and we were there to make our presence known, both to try to recruit more boys and also to try to get in touch with any ex-members as our 50th anniversary is next year. The leaders had a great day and we successfully reminded many local organisations and families the Boys’ Brigade is still strong in this part of Edinburgh.”
