Museum of Scottish Fire Heritage & Lunch at Vittoria on The Walk

The early days of firefighting look a lot different than what we know today. Competing commercial companies, communities supplying their own equipment and a young man destined to change everything?! Explore the origin story of the Fire Service, highlights include the role of Fire Insurance Companies, the rise of James Braidwood and the impact Great Fire of Edinburgh had in shaping firefighting as we know it.

 

We will then go to Vittoria on the Walk to enjoy pizzas, pasta and Scottish options served up in a welcoming environment.
