PiH rehearsal **changed**
2026-03-14 13:00 - 15:00 | Broughton St Mary’s Church, 12 Bellevue Crescent, Edinburgh, EH3 6NE
Our March rehearsal will be replaced by the Scottish CND action at Faslane North Gate. If you want to be part of this please read on:
Information from Scottish CND
We are entering an era which can reasonably be described as a New Cold War. The last remaining bilateral nuclear arms treaty between the US and Russia — New START – expired on Wednesday 4th February. New START limited nuclear weapons deployment of these countries and established verification measures to ensure compliance.
We are happy to announce that all supporters and members can now book seats on buses to the demonstration!
There will be three buses travelling to Faslane on the morning of Saturday 14th March:

Glasgow bus: Leaves from North Hanover Street, near Costa Cafe, at 11am. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before departure.
Edinburgh bus: Leaves from Charlotte Square, city centre, at 10am. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before departure.
Click here to book a space for the Glasgow or Edinburgh buses. We are inviting registrants to make a non-obligatory donation, if they can, to help cover costs. Contact scnd@banthebomb.org with any queries!
Aberdeen bus: Leaves at 7:50am on Skene Street behind His Majesty’s Theatre. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before departure.
The bus from Aberdeen will make three stops along the way to Faslane, in Dundee, Perth and Stirling:

Dundee pickup between 9:35am and 9:40am at the Kingsway Retail Park Bus Stop DD3 8RX
Perth pickup between 10:16 and 10:21 from Perth Broxden Park and Ride PH2 0PX
Stirling pickup between 11:03 and 11:08 from Stirling Castleview Park and Ride FK9 4TW

Supporters from Aberdeen and these areas should contact CND North-East Scotland at cndabdn@gmail.com to register their interest for this bus from the north, which will be dropping off at the end of the day also.

Please note: this is instead of our monthly rehearsal at Broughton St Mary’s. You will need to take your own water and refreshments and a folding chair if standing is difficult. The coach will stop in Helensburgh on the way in (and out?) for a comfort break and we will have access to a ‘comfort zone’ about 20 minutes from the North Gate during the event with a few cars available if needed. Further details nearer the time. WE URGENTLY NEED SOMEONE TO TAKE ON COORDINATING THIS.
