Discovering Granton While Walking Like a Tortoise

Discovering Granton While Walking Like a Tortoise

Join me for an interesting afternoon with Tamsin Grainger discovering all about Granton's history. As I become more fascinated by the area and it's special character, it was good to find out more about its past. Join us as we head out to walk along the shore seeing seals, brick beaches and quirky statues while we delve into stories of the area and what draws Tamsin to the outdoors. And find the history behind 'walking like a tortoise'.

We met at Wardie Bay HERE

We visited the Pianodrome HERE

The sailor statues are HERE

The 'brick beach' is HERE

The Pitt and sauna is HERE

She was winner of the Walk•Listen•Create Marŝarto Award 2024 LINK

And Tamsin is author of 'Working with Death and Loss in Shiatsu Practice, a guide to holistic bodywork in palliative care' (Singing Dragon, 2020). LINK
