The St Cuthbert’s Co-Operative Society was a major presence in Edinburgh from the late 19th Century until the early 1980s when it merged with the Dalziel Society (Motherwell) to become the Scottish Midland Co-operative Society (Scotmid).
Many Edinburgh folk will be familiar with the St Cuthbert’s dairy and its horse drawn milk floats but horses were used throughout the movement and a saddlery in Dalry existed to make collars, harnesses and other equine equipment.
During #AuldReekieRetold a commemorative book was discovered illustrating the many occasions St Cuthbert’s horses were utilised in civic and ceremonial events and local campaigns. Do you remember them?
