Edinburgh Croquet Club was founded in 1950 at a meeting organised by the distinguished author Moray McLaren. A site was found for it at Lauriston Castle and the first lawn was laid out that year. Two more lawns - full length but slightly narrow and sloping - were added during the 1950s. Some long-awaited levelling work was carried out in 2004, and the club now has two full-size level lawns, with lawn 3 remaining narrow and on a slope. The lawns enjoy a superb setting with the castle on one side and a view across the Firth of Forth on the other.
There are club sessions at Lauriston Castle on Saturday afternoons for Association Croquet and all day on Sundays for Golf Croquet. During the week there is a development session and introduction session for Association Croquet and there are other club sessions on Wednesday afternoons (Association Croquet) and on Thursday afternoons (Golf Croquet). The club runs Taster Sessions for prospective new members at Lauriston early each season.
New members and visiting parties are always welcome. Further information can be found on the club's website at www.edinburghcroquetclub.com.
