Edinburgh Corn Exchange
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Edinburgh Corn Exchange is a live music venue in the Chesser suburb of Edinburgh, Scotland. It hosts gigs all year round, but is most used in August as part of The Edge Festival (formerly known as T on the Fringe), part of the annual Edinburgh Festival.
The building was erected in 1909 as a corn exchange, and was designed by the City Superintendent of Works, James A. Williamson. It is a category B listed building.[1] It was restored for use as a venue in 1999.[2]
