Corstorphine Heritage Centre
The Corstorphine Heritage Centre, housed in the historic Dower House in St Margaret’s Park, offers a rich insight into the local history of Corstorphine, once a village on Edinburgh’s outskirts. Dating back to 1587, the building itself is a heritage landmark, with distinctive Scottish architectural features including crow-stepped gables and lime-washed walls. Operated by the Corstorphine Trust, the centre serves as a vibrant community hub, hosting exhibitions, musical evenings, talks, and social events that celebrate the area’s cultural legacy. Inside, visitors can explore a small museum and archive that document Corstorphine’s transformation—from agricultural roots supplying Edinburgh with produce, to its incorporation into the city in 1920. The centre also offers publications and locally themed items for sale, supporting its mission to preserve and share the stories of the neighbourhood. Open to the public on select days, it invites locals and visitors alike to connect with Corstorphine’s enduring spirit.
