Edinburgh’s coastline communities have a proud heritage of distinct social and cultural traditions where a sense of community has endured. Time has not always been kind, industries have suffered and sensitive redevelopment is required. Yet, this seaboard is home to an internationally important flora and fauna which could soon harvest new benefits for those along the shore.
The Edinburgh Shoreline project has launched at a time of community desire for regeneration. It presents a real opportunity for tangible change. Steered by those who use the area for work and play – with backing from key agencies – it could become an enduring testament to the power of communities celebrating their past and protecting their future.
A new vibrancy can be felt in all kinds of activity around the beaches, harboursides and proms. Natural habitats can be at the heart of this Renaissance.
