A collection of immersive tales created by young writers from the Creative Toolbox programme, in collaboration with Sonic Labs. Creative Toolbox is a vibrant creative wellbeing initiative for young people aged 11–18 in Dumfries & Galloway, designed to build confidence, nurture social connections, spark creativity, and support mental wellbeing. These stories were developed as part of Creative Caerlaverock—an arts and community project that invited creative responses and public engagement inspired by the rich heritage and imagined futures of Caerlaverock Castle. Delivered by The Stove Network in partnership with Historic Environment Scotland.

Explore the sand dunes and beach on our guided audio walk. This sound walk aims to highlight the unique wildlife on Mawbray dunes, the conservation efforts to protect this rare habitat, and the history and experiences of local communities! The full walk is circular, approximately 2.3km long, and should take around an hour to an hour and a half to complete. It includes uneven ground and unfortunately is largely inaccessible for wheelchair users. We have cattle, and ground nesting birds on site, so please keep your dogs under close control. Please download the walk to your phone before you come to the starting point, which is the Mawbray Banks car park, and make sure you allow Echoes to use your location to trigger the sounds as you walk along. It is designed to be experienced through headphones, so make sure you bring yours with you. The walk begins at Mawbray banks car park, Mawbray. From the car park head north out of the gate and take the track left in the direction of the beach; the trail will guide you as you progress along the route. All instructions and guidance will be offered within the audio, following trails through the dunes and above the high tide mark on the beach away from the waters edge. However, if you are planning to walk further onto the beach always check the tide times before your visit. This walk is part of the Dynamic Dunescapes project, partnered with Cumbria Wildlife Trust and Solway Coast AONB. It has been created by Holly Stainton*, X and .... alongside members of the community (x,x,x). Any feedback you have would be greatly appreciated; please get in touch at mail@cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk.

Take a Break is an audio tour aimed at getting people outside in order to destress and relax.

Round Our Place Ravenscraig is a creative Soundwalk project developed with and by the people of North Lanarkshire who live in the area of the former Ravenscraig Steelworks. This project explores the transformation of this post-industrial landscape through voices, memories, and dreams of the future. Last September, local amateur botanist Hamshya Rajkumar and Tricky Hat hosted walking workshops, encouraging participants to engage with Ravenscraig's unique plant and wildlife while sharing personal stories and reflections on what the land means to them as it enters a new phase of regeneration. Led by Tricky Hat Associate Digital Artist Kim Beveridge, who grew up in North Lanarkshire, Round Our Place Ravenscraig captures the connections between people and place by gathering stories that map the past, present, and possible futures of Ravenscraig. Round Our Place Ravenscraig is a Tricky Hat Productions project, funded by Creative Scotland and developed in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council, the local Duke of Edinburgh program, and Measuring Humanity at the University of Edinburgh.

A tour of some of Glasgow's street art.

This circular narrative can be started at any given point that best suits whoever is experiencing the narrative.

This edifice is a cultural landmark in Glasgow. Located in the heart of Glasgow’s West End, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is one of Scotland’s most beloved and iconic institutions. Opened in 1901, the museum is housed in a stunning red sandstone building designed in the Spanish Baroque style, with grand spires and an imposing façade that mirrors the city’s industrial-era confidence and architectural grandeur. Stunning architecture and a historic, family-friendly space. Beautiful! Wonderful!

This 40-minute soundwalk starts in St Mungo Square, outside the [University of Glasgow Advanced Research Centre Building](https://www.gla.ac.uk/research/arc/) ([11 Chapel Ln, Glasgow G11 6EW](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Zba8xSSo9zZwdwop9)). The walking route is a 2-mile loop mapped to established paths around Kelvingrove Park, returning to St Mungo Square. __About the soundwalk:__ Commissioned by [Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum & Arts Centre](https://www.taigh-chearsabhagh.org/), this soundwalk explores the traditions and ecology of Uist’s machair. A Gaelic word meaning fertile, low-lying grassy plain, machair is one of Europe's rarest yet most species-rich habitats; only occurring on the exposed west-facing shores of Scotland and Ireland, 70% of which is found on Uist. Generations of low-intensity farming have shaped this unique landscape and encouraged wildlife over millennia. Developed in partnership with the local community, this work combines spoken narratives, field recordings, and compositions with archival sound recordings from Edinburgh University’s [School of Scottish Studies](https://www.ed.ac.uk/local/projects/school-of-scottish-studies-archives), that chart over 70-years of oral history. __Contributors:__ Freddie MacDonald, Seoras MacDonald, Alisdair MacEachen, Anne MacLellan, and Matthew Topsfield. __Production team:__ [Duncan MacLeod](http://duncanmacleod.org/) (composer), [Kirsty MacDonald](https://www.comascreative.co.uk/) & [Mairi McFadyen](http://www.mairimcfadyen.scot/) (creative ethnologists), and Sorcha Monk (creative producer). __Cover photo:__ Liniclate machair, Tara Drummie, 2022.
