In this exciting audio-visual exhibition, visitors will be taken on a journey through 900 years of faith and belief in Edinburgh. As the title suggests, the main feature of the exhibition is story based and highlights some of the most engaging and inspiring stories from our communities over the 900-year period. In addition to this, the exhibition celebrates the ways in which our communities continue to enrich and contribute to the city and invites visitors to add their own stories. By telling the stories of Edinburgh’s vibrant and diverse faith communities in their own words, the exhibition will leave visitors with an entirely new perspective on the lives and the histories of the people who make up Edinburgh’s tartan tapestry in the 21st century.

EIFA would like to thank the City of Edinburgh Council for funding this project and New College, St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral and St James Quarter for providing spaces to exhibit.
