Edinburgh World Heritage (EWH) is an independent charity in Edinburgh, Scotland established in 1999. It is tasked with conserving, enhancing and promoting Edinburgh's World Heritage Site "Old and New Towns of Edinburgh", which was designated in 1995.[1] It was created through donations from the City of Edinburgh Council and Historic Scotland.[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.[6]
