One of Edinburgh Leisure’s five cherished Victorian pools marked a milestone year this week, with staff and regulars celebrating 130 years of the Dalry Swim Centre.

First opened in 1895, the historic public baths were part of a scheme to promote cleanliness and hygiene for households that did not have routine access to such facilities.

And today the pool on Caledonian Crescent remains a vital asset for the community and serves as the main training area for Grove Amateur Swimming Club who have trained at Dalry since 1901.
