Description
The Dumbiedykes housing estate is uniquely situated beside Edinburgh’s Old Town and the Scottish Parliament. Built in the early 1960s on condemned tenement sites, Dumbiedykes stands in contrast to its affluent surroundings and continues to spark debate about social inequality in Edinburgh. My childhood memories of the estate inspired me to return and document the area and its residents. After more than twenty years away, revisiting Dumbiedykes challenged me to reconnect with a place that had shaped my early experiences.
