What a fantastic way to start the week by celebrating our birthday! Thank you to everyone who came along today!
What a great way to celebrate the birthday of 56three! Food and chatter with our wonderful friends and neighbours. Thanks for coming, and if you missed out, don't worry, we will be repeating the feast soon! And finally, a huge thanks to Will and Ewan for keeping the orders flowing.
We had an incredible evening at the Women in Property annual dinner last Friday, held at the absolutely stunning National Museum of Scotland on Chamber Street. It was a privilege to be part of this fantastic event, supporting the amazing work of the children’s charity, Children First. With International Women’s Day the following day, it was also the perfect opportunity for us — as a business made up of over 50% women — to reflect on and celebrate the incredible women we have the privilege of working alongside. Their talent, dedication, and passion inspire us every day, and we’re so grateful to be part of a community that champions and uplifts women in our industry. A huge thank you to Women in Property for hosting such a memorable evening and for creating spaces where meaningful connections and important conversations can happen. Here’s to continuing the work of supporting, empowering, and celebrating women - today and every day. #womeninproperty #internationalwomensday #IWD2025 #childrenfirst #inspiration #celebration Women in Property | Children First | 56three | National Museums Scotland

Happy World Book Day! 📚✨ To celebrate, we’re sharing one of our favourite projects —The Edinburgh Bookshop! As a team of keen readers, this was a dream project where we could really get creative. We especially loved designing the children’s area — a playful, welcoming space where little imaginations can run wild. It’s always a joy to bring places like this to life, creating environments that inspire a love of books and storytelling. What’s your favourite bookshop or reading spot? Let us know in the comments! 👇 #WorldBookDay #BookLovers #TheEdinburghBookShop #InteriorDesign #CreativeSpaces #LoveBooks
