PENICUIK EXHIBITIONS
Heaps of exhibitions have been organised in
Penicuik since the town grew dramatically in the 1960s and 1970s. In the eighties, nineties and zeros, local
volunteer charity Penicuik Community Arts Association put together
regular and varied displays of children’s art, paintings, sculpture, crafts,
architecture, and local history. Four notable ones over the years were: Models
and their Makers, the celebration of the buildings designed by F. T. Pilkington, the landmark historical exhibition Penicuik
Looking Back, and Memorable Clothes.
From 2005 Penicuik Community Development Trust
as a new volunteer charity has organised themed exhibitions almost weekly in
the Cowan Institute,
LOST GARDEN OF PENICUIK PEN-Y-COE PRESS & OLD POST OFFICE
to find its own permanent
display space. Here are some of the
