Leave a reply

For those who haven’t heard the news over the weekend the future of our local city farm, well loved by Dalry families, has been secured by educational and social care charity Love Learning.

We at Dalry Primary wish them good luck and look forward to visiting when the gates reopen.

We also thank all who have been involved in this swift process at the council, the former farm staff and the wider community in Gorgie and Dalry.
