The Astronomical Society of Edinburgh

The society has been holding meetings since 1924, with various events happening at least three times a month. They have had a connection with the City Observatory from 1938 to 2008, but due to vandalism, they had to move their meetings and remove all their property. The society produces publications and hosts several events for its members and the public.
