Join us for our EEHN away day at the Granton:Hub at Madelvic House, the site of one of the earliest electric car factories (1898) and of a current community arts centre. We will start the day with a guided tour of the Granton Castle Walled Garden, a ‘lost’ historic garden that is run by locals. In the afternoon, we’ll have two paper sesions where we’ll hear from our IASH EH Fellows, new Edinburgh colleagues, and invited guests.
