The Penicuik Heritage Regeneration Project is urging property owners to a repair and maintenance event, to be held in the Town Hall on Thursday, 25 April, in Midlothian.

A council spokesperson said: "If your property needs some TLC, but you're not sure about how to start the repair process, why not come along for some free advice? You can learn more about the funding options available to you, get tips on getting your neighbours together to carry out the work, speak with the experts and take away useful information and contacts."

The Penicuik Heritage Regeneration Project is a partnership between Midlothian Council, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Historic Environment Scotland, the Penicuik Community Development Trust, Penicuik First (BIDS) and Penicuik Community Council.
