New Book Release
Members may be interested to note that local historian and writer, Mrs. Sandra Whitnell, has released a new book titled, " Not Just a Modest Country House: the social history of Kingsmeadows House, Peebles 1795 - 2011". Sandra has been a long-time supporter of the Peebles Civic Society and made a significant contribution to our heritage project that celebrated Peebles High Street in 2013/2014.
