The Cockburn Association, founded in 1875, is one of the world's oldest architectural conservation and urban planning monitoring organisations.
[1][2] The association successfully resisted plans to build an inner-city motorway system in Edinburgh in 1965.
In 2004 it mounted a major campaign to resist the removal of trees at Bruntsfield Links.
The association has campaigned for the retention and improvement of Edinburgh's open and green spaces ever since.
