Lisa Williams, poet, author, and founder of the Edinburgh Caribbean Association, will lead this Black History Walk and share some specially written poetry as we explore the histories of The Royal Mile's surrounding areas.
Led by Lisa Williams, founder of the Edinburgh Caribbean Association, this Black History Walk will leave from the steps of the Scottish Storytelling Centre and explore the histories of the surrounding areas. These little-known stories of Edinburgh’s many visitors and residents of African, African American and Caribbean heritage may surprise some; what tales lie behind The Royal Mile and impressive buildings nearby?
As a poet and author, Williams will lead the walk and share some of her poetry specially written for this route. Please wear comfortable shoes and layers, and be ready for Scottish weather in November.
