What is ICH?
ICH is the ‘living’ heritage of customs and practices. The importance of ICH derives primarily from its providing a strong sense of identity and continuity to individuals and communities. Click here for more information
ICH in Scotland?
Our project is collecting information on Scotland’s own forms of ICH and producing an online inventory of these. Click here for more information about the project
What is a wiki?
The wiki can be found here and you can use it to search for information about the diversity of living cultural practices in Scotland. It is very simple to use and you can also add ICH examples of your own to the inventory.
Who are we?
We are a team led by Professor Alison McCleery, Edinburgh Napier University. The project is based in the university’s Scottish Centre for the Book.
