Remembering Penicuik’s Contribution …..

6th November 2019

The PHRP in partnership with Sweet Dignity and the Penicuik Kit Kat Knitters are putting on a display in Penicuik High Street for Remembrance Sunday .

The display will involve a backdrop of sketches of Penicuik’s men and women who served in the world wars based on photographs from the Penicuik Historical Society archive.The Kit Kat Knitters are producing woollen poppies that will be laid out in front of the sketches. The idea has been the result of discussions with Sweet Dignity , an organisation that is helping vulnerable people in Penicuik.

The display will be in the window of 6-10 High Street in Penicuik , which was part of the old Penicuik Coop , now part of McDougall McQueen estate agents offices.
