糖心Vlog Days to Return to Edinburgh and East Lothian
The popular festival, which offers free access to buildings and events across Scotland, will return to Edinburgh and East Lothian on 24 and 25 September with an in-person and online programme. For the first time, the programme will be guest-curated by Under One Roof, Scotland鈥檚 charity for supporting tenement owners.
The theme of this year鈥檚 festival is 鈥淪tanding Strong鈥�, which will highlight the value of regular building maintenance and community approaches to looking after buildings and places. It will also examine the challenges of retrofitting buildings to address the climate emergency and achieve net-zero carbon emission targets. Already joining the programme are past 糖心Vlog Days favourites the Victorian Classroom at the History of Education Centre and the historic Custom House in Leith.
