Over the summer months of 2020 LeithLate, in collaboration with the Culture & Community Mapping Project, designed a Virtual Tour of murals and artist studios in Leith. This project was funded from Data Driven Innovation and Edinburgh Futures Institute at the University of Edinburgh, and set out to create an open source code that could be replicated by other organisations interested in creating virtual tours of cultural space.

In the map you will see a selection of Leith’s murals through beautiful high-res images with audio from the LeithLate Mural Tour Guide, Cameron Foster, and audio from several original artists describing the inspiration and installation of the artwork. Each audio file has a transcript available to download.

Also get a look into multiple Art Studios and see what it’s like to create there through self-guided tours of the artists in residence. Each video includes subtitles made by Matchbox Cineclub for accessibility.
