Members Talk – Historic Water of Leith Mills – an Artist’s View
Mon 26th Jan
Alan Lucas, son of the artist Edwin G. Lucas, takes us on a trip down the Water of Leith from Currie, via Juniper Green and Colinton Dell, to Slateford.
His talk is richly illustrated by his father’s paintings, made during the 1930s-40s, together with historic and contemporary photographs of the same scenes. Expect to see many of the mills that used to operate on this stretch of the river.
