Is this what one of the first 'Edinburghers' could have looked like? To mark both Edinburgh and St Giles' Cathedral's 900th anniversaries, a new exhibition will delve into the lives of the city's medieval citizens edinburgh.gov.uk/news/articl… @EdinburghUni @dundeeuni @aberdeenuni

An incredible multidisciplinary project on forensic jewellery, on the belongings of yet-to-be-identified migrants who lost their lives between Türkiye and Greece. That kind of humanitarianism that does matter.

As part of our Edinburgh 900 programme there’s a special exhibition at St Giles’ Cathedral on the ‘First Burghers’ exploring the lives of people in the medieval period.
It was fantastic to open the exhibition which is free and runs until 30 November .
