Redrawing Edinburgh celebrates the strong independent identities of the areas of Cramond, Colinton, Corstorphine, Liberton, and Leith had back then and how they have retained them throughout the past century. This isn&#x27;t just about nostalgia, it&#x27;s about identity. We&#x27;re celebrating the individual spirits that make up Edinburgh by screening the projections in the places they are from.Leith born scriptwriter Alistair Rutherford, has written the screenplay for the film, which includes footage from all five areas to inspire people to think about local history in a new way. The film is also accompanied by an original score produced by Edinburgh based musical duo Dowally.We strive to be as accessible as possible with wheelchair access and facilities on site.
