Scotland’s MIPIM delegation convenes in Leith for a morning of networking and reflection on this year’s return to Cannes. GRAS and Custom Lane host the gathering at Brown’s of Leith and join the panel discussion on Scotland’s international presence.
Opened in November 2025, Brown’s of Leith is the first phase in the refurbishment of the former George Brown & Sons Engineering Works at 4–6 The Shore. For more than 130 years this Category B-listed building housed engineers and metalworkers. It now sits directly across the Water of Leith from Custom Lane, the centre for designing and making that GRAS established in 2016, and extends the same working culture: artists, makers, master blenders, independent food and drink partners occupy the ground floor, with future phases planned for architects and creative practitioners.
We’re delighted to host this discussion. Brown’s of Leith grew out of nearly half a century of conservation work — fifteen years of it on the Shore — and the questions it raises, how heritage buildings find new uses, how independent businesses shape a neighbourhood, sit at the centre of what GRAS does. Read more on the thinking behind the project on the GRAS Journal.
Kindly sponsored by Robertson Group.
