An exhibition celebrating the culture of Caribbean Scottish people has opened its doors today to the public (Sunday October 16).
Respect! Caribbean life in Edinburgh, is an event that will explore what it means to be Caribbean in the capital through museum objects, poetry and film. The event was put together by the Museum of Edinburgh in collaboration with members of the Edinburgh Caribbean Association (ECA).
As well as showcasing the experience of Caribbean Scots, the exhibition will also look into what life was like growing up in the region of the Americas. It will also examine how music and food in the UK have been influenced by the islands.
