Description: To celebrate LGBT+ History Month 2019, LGBT Health and Wellbeing, Scotland’s Urban Past, Scottish Civic Trust, and Our Story Scotland held a workshop in the City Art Centre Edinburgh, where we discussed the city from a queer perspective. What places are important, historic, safe, unwelcoming, personal? Using a mixture of materials, miniature pride flags and three large maps, we recorded a whole range of memories and locations. These have been used to create this online map, and a printed version showing a smaller selection of places, which will be available around Edinburgh. When looking through the map, we particularly encourage you to think about how environments can be very different for different people - especially queer people of colour and disabled people.
