scottishathletics are pleased to announce that we are moving our head office to the Laurie Liddell Clubhouse, Peffermill Road, Edinburgh, EH16 5LL.
The facility is part of the University of Edinburgh and is one of the premier sporting facilities in the city.
‘We are delighted to be further extending our partnership with the University of Edinburgh by relocating our head office to the Laurie Liddell Clubhouse,’ said our chief executive Colin Hutchison.
‘It is an exciting time to be moving to Peffermill with several developments taking place onsite that further enhance the fantastic sports facilities at the University of Edinburgh.
‘The University already provides significant support to athletics in Scotland through the Global Endurance Project which provides a performance development programme at the University for athletes. We look forward to continuing to work with the University to support the development of athletics in Scotland.’

The scottishathletics head office has been based in the ‘house of sport’ at Caledonia House in South Gyle for a number of years.
The building will close at the end of 2024 so scottishathletics have been exploring alternative office accommodation in the East of Scotland throughout recent months.
From December 2, our head office will be based at the Laurie Liddell Clubhouse, Peffermill Road, Edinburgh, EH16 5LL.
Members are asked to note that all future correspondence should be directed to this address.
University of Edinburgh Director of Sport and Active Health, Mark Munro, said: ‘We are always looking to develop our relationships with governing bodies and it is great to enhance our partnership with scottishathletics and welcome them to Peffermill to set up their new headquarters.
‘Peffermill has undergone some magnificent changes over the last 12 months with our new hockey surface and wild Peffermill as well as recently playing host to Rugby World Champions South Africa, Fiji and Australia.
‘We look forward to working with all the team at scottishathletics on a number of projects including the Global Endurance Programme.’
