Abstract

This research investigates how digital folklore and digital media can be used as a method to unpack the meaning of place and to discover personal geographies of place. The research focuses on Wester Hailes, a deprived area to the West of Edinburgh. This research combines a critical heritage approach with psychogeography to elicit folklore from Wester Hailes school children. The paper argues that this inter-disciplinary approach affords children with competencies to create their own stories through physical computing and digital storytelling techniques.
