The Lothian Diary Project investigates how Covid-19 affected residents of Edinburgh and the Lothians. Our project is unusual by drawing on individuals’ personal accounts of the pandemic in the form of self-recordings made between May 2020 and July 2021.
On this site you can view some of the videos and read about our findings. The Lothian Diary Project is part of Edinburgh Speaks and is made possible by a cross-school collaboration between linguists, psychotherapists, political scientists, and data scientists at The University of Edinburgh.
