#LothianLockdown is an @EdinburghUni project on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on residents of Edinburgh and the Lothians, as told in their words.

Interested in our research? We've just published our first linguistic analysis, focusing on the 39 contributors who lived alone during the Covid-19 pandemic, and how the lockdowns changed their sense of time and place:

And that's what @lothialockdown has been up to the last two years. We're hugely grateful to our participants who shared their #COVID19 #lockdown stories with us, which informed all of us on how to do better as a community. Check out our report at https://t.co/8EoEM6hf9m

[Lothian Lockdown: The Lothian Diary Project @LothianLockdown]

We recommend that the Scottish Government
§ ensure that public health restrictions and guidance remains clear and accessible to all.
§ consider how progress towards gender and racial equalities might have exacerbated
What else do we recommend? Find out https://t.co/8EoEM6hf9m

Our @lothianlockdown study involved many young people. As @YLSSarahRobbo of @YouthLinkScot put it, we need to "make sure that we truly are listening to young people, and that it's not tokenistic." Check out our preliminary findings at https://t.co/8EoEM5ZDKM

[Lothian Lockdown: The Lothian Diary Project @LothianLockdown]

In response to our parliament report, @ScotParl MP @_MWhitfield said 'The input of young people during lockdown is incredibly powerful. ...Thank you so much for doing this, it's so important people now and for people later in your lifetimes.' https://t.co/8EoEM5ZDKM
