We're delighted to be able to offer schools, families and community groups a free shoreline activity pack. It's bursting with ideas on events and projects that you can undertake in your local area to celebrate and preserve the history and wildlife that is so important to the Edinburgh shoreline!

We are over the moon to launch a new mural at Seafield Prom in collaboration with Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home, artists Katie and Emma of Studio N_Name and local residents.

How time flies when you're having fun! On Saturday 2nd March we held a celebration event to mark the first anniversary of the project. At the event we launched our project documentary, community map and oral history interviews.

What an afternoon to walk over to Cramond island! This stretch of the Firth of Forth is a Special Protected Area due to the internationally important populations of waders that it supports.
