Princes St Garden meetings - Witness for peace and meeting for worship at Princes St Gardens, 10.30 am at the Peace Tree. These meetings are simultaneous with our regular meetings at the Open Door, and dates coincide with meetings at the North Gate, Faslane, where meeting starts at 11 am. The Peace Tree is towards the West end, between the bandstand and the Ross Fountain. For both Princes St Gardens and Faslane you need clothes appropriate for the weather, and something to sit on.
