More to it - Black History Walks Edinburgh
Listen now
Description
'More to it' is a story about links between Scotland and the trans-Atlantic slave trade, but it's also a story about outstanding Black Scottish people and the ways in which Edinburgh locals supported the abolition movement. We're joining a Black history walking tour with Lisa Williams and make our way from the grand streets of Edinburgh's New Town to the cobbled lanes of the medieval Old Town. We'll hear stories about controversial monuments, ethical arguments, family connections and more. Visit our website to find the full show notes incl. our top tips for a trip to Edinburgh. Book a Black history walk in Edinburgh here or drop Lisa an email to enquire about private tours. Find out about my favourite tours in Edinburgh. Join the Wild for Scotland email list here.
