Edinburgh World Heritage

[2] The EWH has worked on over 1,500 projects across Edinburgh in the areas of conservation, learning, and planning.

[3] Some of these projects include restoring Edinburgh's historic graveyards,[4] original street lighting,[5] and monuments.

In 1971, the Edinburgh New Town Conservation Committee was formed to give grants to home owners for repairs.

[8] In August 2020, EWH were the Agents in a planning application to erect a plaque on the monument.

The plaque was intended to honour victims of slavery whose enslavement was connected to Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville.
