I'd suggest that you contact:

The Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service
Lauriston Place
Edinburgh, EH3 9DE
email: enquiries@lbfire.org.uk

or the Museum of Fire (same address)
email: csq@lbfire.org.uk

and see if you can't "twin" with them.

After all, Edinburgh formed the first municipal fire brigade in Europe and that's definitely Scottish!

As far as "Emerald Societies" go, when I was in law enforcement I found them to way over the top in pushing an "Irish only" agenda. Maybe things have changed but, from what I gather you are saying, that doesn't appear to be the case.

Anyhow, good luck with Edinburgh!
