Regular training takes place at the Harry Younger Hall, Lochend Close. This is the church hall of Edinburgh's Canongate Kirk, last resting place of the venerable Sir William Hope, one of Scotland's foremost 17th Century fencing Masters and our inspiration in the study of the arts of combat.

Lochend Close runs between Calton Road (pedestrian and vehicle access) and the Canongate (pedestrian access only) at the bottom of the High Street. Entry from the Canongate is via a walkway that passes through the arches opposite the Key Player keyboard shop.

Parking is available in Lochend Close and on the High Street opposite the keyboard shop. On street parking is free after 6:30pm and all day Sunday.
