Edinburgh’s Muirhouse community on the northwest corner of the city is as full of hope, potential, pride and generosity as its reputation is for impoverishment, substance abuse and housing issues.
Project leaders and investors in the MacMillan Hub have high hopes that the under-construction cooperative will revitalise and regenerate the community, and more than 97 percent of locals support the project.
Local resident and North Edinburgh Arts (NEA) volunteer Dee Bowers said the hub is already generating a buzz and Foundation Scotland recently announced £300,000 in funding to help reach the NEA’s £4.2million goal.
