Edinburgh Shoreline is an exciting, community centred initiative celebrating the city’s 27km coastline.

We are rediscovering its fascinating and often unknown history and the rich plant and animal life that survives against the odds in unexpected places, and inspiring people to explore their coast and take responsibility for its future health.

We are very grateful to have been supported and funded so well in the past.

As we enter 2021, we are now planning and fund raising for our next exciting projects.
