Edinburgh Memories
A wonderful new book containing local people’s stories from between the wars has just been published. It includes stories and photographs about childhood and schooldays, work and play, sport and leisure. It is available from all good bookshops and direct from the LMA
Sikh Sanjog
Sikh Sanjog offer services for sikh women in Edinburgh. The LMA is currently offering reminiscence training to help with their new Heritage Lottery Project which seeks to foster a greater understanding between the generations in the sikh community.
Gracemount Primary School
The LMA has been working with the teachers and pupils in the primary school on a variety of topics: Granny’s Kitchen, Recycling and Childhood Games. This involved bringing older people in the community into the school to share their memories and experiences with the pupils. The most recent session was on Scots Words with a primary 5 class.
Astley Ainslie Hospital
We’re currently running reminiscence sessions at the hospital for a group of people recovering from strokes. This has proved to be a lively wee group. We bring along memorabilia to stimulate memories or sometimes present a slide projection of photographs of Edinburgh.
