The Scottish Liberal Club exists to promote Liberalism in a variety of ways. In normal times, we hold regular events such as discussion evenings and social gatherings, many of them with speakers, as well as the well-established annual dinner and lecture.

The Club is a separate organisation from the Scottish Liberal Democrats. Members who espouse Liberal ideas and values are welcome from within and outwith the Party.

Fire at former Liberal HQ

The Scottish Liberal Club is deeply saddened by the destruction by fire of 109 Princes Street which was, until recently, better known as the Debenhams store. What many people may not know is that the building was owned by the Liberal Party until 1970.

We deeply regret the loss of the building and the damage to the adjoining premises and urge Historic Environment Scotland, the Cockburn Society and the City of Edinburgh Council to work together towards restoring these historic buildings.

An appeal

As in many volunteer organisations, we have lost the photos of our time at 109 Princes Street and of the building. Please contact us if you could share your photos with us and give us permission to use them.
