CCS Visit to Edinburgh National Museum of Scotland Collections Centre
We have arranged a tour of the National Museums Collection Centre in Edinburgh,
where we to hope to view a rather interesting collection of vintage computers
in their reserve collection, including a Ferranti Mark 1*, A Ferranti Mercury
and the remains of the Chilton Atlas 1.
There may be a small charge, depending on the number of us participating.
We will meet up for the tour at 13;00 on Tuesday 2nd September, at the Collection
Centre at 242 W Granton Rd, Edinburgh EH5 1JA.
There are Blue Badge Parking Spaces within the site (get details before to book a space) and on
street parking for others. Access by Public transport is available with local bus
stops near the entrance.
We would like to get together for dinner in central Edinburgh on the previous evening,
Monday 1st September at a venue to be advised.
Hotel and travel arrangements are, of course, the individual responsibility of participants.
There are several hotels in the vicinity of Princes Street, including the Ibis
“South Bridge” and the Premier Inn at Princes Street.
Do join us, and bring partners, friends and relations. It will be fun!
As usual, Dan Hayton will be our organiser.
You should contact him at
so we know you’re coming and so that he can confirm numbers for the tour
and keep you in touch about any arrangements.
Please confirm your interest as soon as possible with the names of those wishing to join
the party since security will need a list.
