Forth & Borders Group 43rd Annual General Meeting
May 29, 2025 6:30 pm
Library of Mistakes, Edinburgh
The 43rd AHSS Forth & Borders AGM takes place on Thurs 29 May at 6.30pm at the brilliant Library of Mistakes, Edinburgh.
Notice is hereby given that the 43rd Annual General Meeting of the Forth & Borders Group of the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland will be held at the Library of Mistakes, 33A Melville Street Lane, Edinburgh EH3 7QB (approach from Drumsheugh Gardens, by the new Resident hotel, formerly HMRC’s Meldrum House) on Thursday 29th May 2025 at 6.30pm.
The AGM will be followed by a short talk by Emily Ducas on ‘Building Mistakes: Structural failures and their causes’. Emily will be asking the question ‘Why do buildings fall down?’ Is it poor construction, natural disaster or under-design that’s to blame?
The Library of Mistakes is a fascinating space serving as a free-to-use library dedicated to the study of financial history, with an outreach and education programme that includes courses, events and podcasts. Amid today’s geopolitical and economic ructions, its drive is to extend understanding of this topic so that both professionals and the investing public can avoid the mistakes of the past.
