NT 27270 76450 The Story of Leith Project brought together the Citadel Arts Group (CAG) and the Workers Education Association Playwrights Group (WEA) to create a heritage trail with a 360° soundscape. To do this they employed the use of binaural sound recording, which uses a dummy head and two recorders placed in the ‘ears’ to mimic the way humans pick up sound. CAG and WEA worked on script and extra text to be included in an accompanying booklet. Adopt-a-Monument worked with these projects to help produce the booklets and provide guided tours from 19–21 June 2014.
