The Edinburgh University Collection of Historic Musical Instruments is organising a Symposium on the Clavichord, to be held at St Cecilia's Hall, Edinburgh, 27-29 October 2006. The Symposium will be part of a Clavichord Weekend which will also include concerts. This meeting is the successor to the series previously organised biennially by the British Clavichord Society in Edinburgh. Since the last (2004) Clavichord Weekend in Edinburgh, the Collection has been augmented by the three clavichords which are part of the Rodger Mirrey Collection of Early Keyboard Instruments. (See details of clavichords in the Edinburgh University Collection of Historic Musical Instruments.)

We cannot recommend any individual places in particular, but can suggest general areas. There are basically four main areas where B&Bs / hotels are in Edinburgh. Of the four, perhaps the best in terms of area and accessibility is the Gilmore Place / Upper Gilmore Place / Granville Terrace area. The places in the Polworth end area are quieter, but are further from the city centre (the area takes about ten minutes to walk from one end to the other). The other places are Minto Street, which is a fairly busy street, and Corstorphine Road, which can also be a busy street (although we doubt whether traffic noise will be a practical issue. Both of those areas have easy bus access to the City Centre. The last area is Pilrig Road, which personally we wouldn't choose to stay in.
