About the event

The theme for Disability History Month Scotland 2024 is 'Disabled People: Livelihood and Employment'. 


Disability has been seen for many years as synonymous with non-employment or unemployment.


This of course is not true. Disabled people have always sought a means of surviving whether in begging, employment or on welfare or charity.

Sasha Saben Callaghan's 'Lives: Reimagined' project explores the experiences of some of the disabled 'inmates' of the poorhouses which used to serve the Granton area, St Cuthbert's, North Leith and South Leith, and imagines a very different life for the 'pauper' occupants.
