The Edinburgh’s Netherbow SCIO brings together public, private and charitable organisations in the Netherbow area of Edinburgh to advise and support the Edinburgh UNESCO City of Literature Trust on its work to enhance Edinburgh’s Literary Quarter: the Netherbow of the Royal Mile. Our aspiration is to develop the honeycomb of buildings, gardens, closes and streetscape in and around the Scottish Storytelling Centre and John Knox House, to create a calm and welcoming space, introducing literature and art into the streetscape, and provide space for seats and for digital engagement. A programme of consultations has provided guidance on the nature of activity, commissions and event programme to be developed in the location. The ambition is to connect deeply with Edinburgh’s residents of all ages, and create a year-round focal point, which will make connections across the literary community.

Objectives: The organisation's purposes are to advance Scotland's arts and culture, in particular its literature, traditional and contemporary arts, languages, architectural and religious heritage, and to increase knowledge of Scotland's arts and culture through education *Culture is understood to include artistic expression, literature, heritage, education, beliefs, language, customs and ways of life as defined in the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity (2001)
