This story trail has been designed to make children more aware of traditional buildings in the city, get them involved in identifying simple signs of decay and neglect, and encourage a conversation about the importance of maintaining our buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Written by children\u2019s author Vivian French<\/a><\/strong> together with Edinburgh World Heritage, this resource was supported by a grant from the Scottish Book Trust, and published as part of Book Week Scotland<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Designed as an outdoor activity, the resource takes the form of a \u2018story trail\u2019 and is aimed at children in primaries 3 \u2013 4 and their families, who are\u00a0invited to help Moe the Magpie spy evidence of neglect on poorly maintained traditional buildings in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Participants can submit their findings to Edinburgh World Heritage via email (info@ewht.org.uk<\/strong><\/a>)\u00a0or by post<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and receive a special spyster badge from Moe as a reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
