About this Event
Curious Edinburgh offers app-based walking tours on Edinburgh’s heritage. Based on a range of academic research on Edinburgh, we created tours on the history of science, technology and medicine, and we also worked with Edinburgh’s community organisations to showcase a variety of cultural heritage, e.g. on the history of charity and civic action. Based on the success of our Granton tour, developed in collaboration with granton:hub we are now launching our new coastal trails, including one on birds, exploring various historic interactions between Edinburgh and its coastal environment.
During this Cultural Heritage Festival event we will showcase the app and our new coastal tours, while also discussing the collaborative process of developing heritage trails and our plans for the future.
Drinks and nibbles will be available on the ground floor of St. Cecilia’s Hall.
This event is generously supported by the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences research themes initiative, Edinburgh Global, the Edinburgh Research Organisation, and Una Europa.
