Oor Mad History is a unique community project
promoting the history of the mental health service
user movement in Lothian. Together with service
user groups and volunteers we are building a
fascinating oral history and paper based archive.
Join us as we launch our book about the project
and look at our exhibition which draws on voices
and images from the archive. Come along and
