Britain from the Air has landed in Edinburgh
Edinburgh has become the latest host venue for the Society’s free-to-access outdoor exhibition - Britain from the Air (PDF).
Made up of more than 100 stunning aerial photographs, 11 of which feature striking locations from around Edinburgh, the street gallery is the perfect way to see Britain from a unique aerial perspective. Combined with a large-scale, walk-on Ordnance Survey map situated in Festival Square, visitors will be able to walk the length and breadth of the British Isles.
The exhibition is being brought to Edinburgh by the Society and street gallery pioneers, Wecommunic8. It is being sponsored by the City of Edinburgh Council, Marketing Edinburgh and Essential Edinburgh in conjunction with Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland (RHASS), Edinburgh World Heritage and the Grassmarket BID.
If you cannot make it to see the street gallery in all its glory, then why not enjoy the original gallery of images using Britain from the Air online. We also have a number of primary and secondary educational resources, relating to the exhibition, available for download. | |
