Join Edinburgh Napier University and Robert Gordon University for an interactive engagement activity to explore how prison histories are interpreted in heritage settings.

How should prison histories be presented in museums and heritage spaces today? Join researchers from Edinburgh Napier University and Robert Gordon University for an interactive, hands‑on exploration of how stories of incarceration are interpreted across Scotland.

Through a series of facilitated activity stations, visitors can respond to prompts, share reflections, and consider questions such as:

• What are prison museums for in contemporary society?
• How should difficult or sensitive histories be communicated?
• What might responsible and ethical interpretation look like?

Your perspectives will help shape an ongoing conversation about the future of carceral heritage in Scotland.
