900 Christmases at Bridgend Farmhouse

Bridgend has always been a farm steading. It was part of the Inch Estate which goes back to the Gilmour and Preston families who owned the 14th century Craigmillar Castle. It was a working farm till the year 2000. The 18th century farmhouse has been completely restored by an independent community organisation and is now a community centre running a wide range of activities. We have a training kitchen and cafe, woodwork and craft work shops, an allotment project, a bike repair business and regular public events, the Christmas Fair being one of them.

On Sunday 1 December we will be staging a farming-through-the-ages exhibition, running traditional farmyard games, and a ceilidh will be held in the evening in our large tent.
