The focus was mainly on communities which did not have their own art galleries or cultural resources. The City of Edinburgh Council had been governing and supporting the Travelling Gallery since 1997. The Gallery also worked with other local authorities throughout Scotland as well as arts organisations.

The Festival brought theatre and dance specially created for children and young people to communities in Edinburgh. 2017 was the 70th anniversary of the Festival and it had been re-branded the Edinburgh International Children’s Festival.

  • Survival Guide
    Edinburgh Festivals SURVIVAL GUIDE Introduction by Alexander McCall Smith INTRODUCTION The original Edinburgh Festival was a wonderful gesture. In 1947, Britain was a dreary and difficult place to live, with the hardships and shortages of the Second World War still very much in evidence. The idea was to promote joyful celebration of the arts that would bring colour and excitement back into daily life. It worked, and the Edinburgh International Festival visitor might find a suitable festival even at the less rapidly became one of the leading arts festivals of obvious times of the year. The Scottish International the world.

Disrupting place attachment has a negative impact on people’s psychological well-being and the health of their communities. Place attachment can motivate people’s engagement in civic actions to protect their beloved places from being destroyed, especially when buildings and public spaces are demolished or redeveloped in historic places. However, the UK planning and heritage sectors have made only limited attempts to understand people’s attachment to the historic environment and how it may influence planning, conservation and development that affects historic places.

  • The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh World Heritage Site Management Plan
    The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh World Heritage Site Management Plan July 2005 Prepared by Edinburgh World Heritage on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, the City of Edinburgh Council and the Minister for Media and Heritage Foreword en years on from achieving World Heritage Site status we are proud to present Edinburgh’s first World Heritage Site Management Plan. The Plan provides a framework T for conservation in the heart of Scotland’s capital city. The preparation of a plan to conserve this superb ‘world’ city is an important step on a journey which began when early settlers first colonised Castle Rock in the Bronze Age, at least 3,000 years ago. Over three millennia, the city of Edinburgh has been shaped by powerful historical forces: political conflict, economic hardship, the eighteenth century Enlightenment, Victorian civic pride and twentieth century advances in science and technology. Today we have a dynamic city centre, home to 24,000 people, the work place of 50,000 people and the focus of a tourism economy valued at £1 billion per annum. At the beginning of this new millennium, communication technology allows us to send images of Edinburgh’s World Heritage Site instantly around the globe, from the broadcasted spectacle of a Festival Fireworks display to the personal message from a visitor’s camera phone. It is our responsibility to treasure the Edinburgh World Heritage Site and to do so by embracing the past and enhancing the future. The World Heritage Site is neither a museum piece, nor a random collection of monuments. It is today a complex city centre which daily absorbs the energy of human endeavour.
