Where do I get my stories from? That’s one of the most common questions I get asked and I want to share CoastScot with you as one of the answers, since it’s something I think you should use as well. #ad #erdf CoastScot NatureScot UHI @UHIWestHighland CalMac Ferries

Great to hear about the CoastScot initiative at Scotland's Community Heritage Conversations event in Stirling today. Must check out the stories collected. coast.scot

Next up, we have Camille Dressler & Katie Murray. They're here to talk about their paper titled "Coast - a project by and for our coastal communities." This project combines heritage and tourism, sharing stories & encouraging more people to connect with heritage. #CelebrateCHC

They have developed an app where they tell the stories shared with them. They also share the stories through a series of exhibitions in different isles of Scotland. #CelebrateCHC CoastScot

We love the stories Camille is sharing with us in real-time, highlighting their uniqueness in the context of the Scottish Isles ❤️

Emerging theme of first two talks at today's Scotland’s Community Heritage Conversations conference is looking beyond the superficial, tangible heritage for the hidden intangible stories that are often buried deep inside and often have to be teased out.
