The exhibition, created by members of the Speak Their Name Lothian group, showcases a handcrafted memorial quilt made up of squares contributed by families from across the Lothians.

Each square represents a loved one lost to suicide, ensuring their lives are honoured and their stories shared.

There are currently 11 Speak Their Name groups across the UK who have collectively produced 19 memorial quilts commemorating more than 800 individuals lost to suicide.
