Forthline Project - Edinburgh & East Lothian fly over

EDINBURGH & EAST LOTHIAN
Conceived during the dark days of winter lockdown this project is the passionate responses of well over a hundred different people to a part of the Forth coast that is special to them.
A long storyline of enmeshed crafted memories and visions of the Forth has emerged, linking the Fife, Edinburgh and East Lothian coasts, biodiversity, people and communities.
Many people have focused on the coast's local history and wildlife, its beauty and diversity and the many species and memories that have been and are still being lost.
While frustration and anger can also be seen in many pieces about marine and intertidal pollution, there is also heartfelt hope for the future.
Each participant expressed their response to their chosen 1km of coast on a calico square and we have been utterly overwhelmed by the diversity, passion and sheer beauty of the work that has been sent in.
This video provides a birds eye fly over view of all of the squares, placing them over Google Earth. A digital image doesn't do the real squares justice as the quality is fantastic - but we wanted to share with everyone who can't make our exhibitions.
With huge thanks to Gerda Stevenson for her wonderful narration and songs
