Passers by could then either dial then landline number (or use the map and listen online) to hear local history stories being read by local people. You can see a bit more info on the website: http://edinburgh.murmur.info/ I love how both signs are discreet but easy to understand - it also makes it a bit of an orienteering style finding game for kids.
