Expert advisor to the Haddington Heritage Project
2021

Description	I am an expert advisor to the Haddington Heritage Project, a sub group of Haddington Community Council. In the backdrop of the managed decline of some historic sites in Scotland, the HHP seeks to take a proactive approach to catalysing the future cultural and economic potential of iconic built historic heritage in Haddington, East Lothian through the exploration of, variously, digital heritage tours, visitor touch points, and experiences. Craig has been advising the group since 2021, and authored a recent tourism development options appraisal which has gone on to inform the current strategy for the group.
