The Quaich Project

Yesterday we went on a live walk around the gardens, for those who are currently staying inside. You can view the full clip on our Facebook page or Instagram. #mentalhealth #covid19uk #staysafe

Thanks to the @CraigmountHS Primary School S3 pupils for sharing their thoughts and views on what they would like to see in West Princes Street Gardens in the future and for taking part in our Youth Consultation in November.

We would like to thank the @thecockburn, The Edinburgh Access Panel, @NTBCC @EdinOldTownCC and West End Community Councils for coming down to WPSG last week to discuss how the proposed designs meet accessibility requirements.

@GirlguidingEdin asked their Brownies what they would like to see in WPSG. We've got dinosaurs, climbing wall, baby area with trampolines, secret Garden, picnic area & slides a plenty. What elements do you believe crucial to a family & play area in West Princes Street Gardens?

A big Happy Birthday to artist, activist and Quaich Bearer @Alancumming OBE! ‘I have many wonderful memories of the gardens from throughout my life and I feel passionately that this project will deliver a space that Scotland’s capital city will be truly proud of.’

Our consultation rated Nature our most popular theme (73.4%), this rings true with our vision of WPSG as first & foremost a gardens. 2020 will be our year of “A Space for Nature”, incl our partnership w/ @worldbeeproject, highlighting biodiversity in Edinburgh’s urban landscape.

Our consultation results came out today & we’re really encouraged by the positive response. The month long consultation was promoted to over 1 million people through our marketing & our team were available to speak with people at 5 venues for 11 days as well as participate online
