Edinburgh World Heritage

Edinburgh World Heritage is an independent charity in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Old Town Renewal Trust and the New Town Conservation Committee amalgamated to form Edinburgh World Heritage in 1999. It was created through donations from the City of Edinburgh Council and Historic Scotland. It has the role of conserving, enhancing and promoting Edinburgh's World Heritage Site. [1][2] In August 2020 EWH were the Agents in a planning application to erect a plaque on the Melville Monument, St Andrew Square. Descendant of Henry Dundas slams this as ‘biased’, ‘defamatory’ and ‘historically inaccurate’. [3]
