Murals

 Saw  these when in Edinburgh and Cowdenbeath recently...

  1. Excellent. Sure beat the sectarian ones in NI.

    I’m sure most of us relate to the middle one. Different toys maybe, but getting down to eye level on the carpet…

    1. The shop fronts have had a lot of work too in Cowdenbeath where murals have been made on the protective shutters on some shops. For example Thomas the Tank engine on one which used to sell model railway stuff but now is mainly diecasts and tours.

  2. Like these - I hope they remain undamaged and are kept fresh - my favourite obviously the middle one.
    I wonder if there is any gendering going on here - Girls obviously connect with soft wispy nature magic, boys fixing up things with tough hard Lego mechanics?

    Unless you shop at Wilko -

  3. There are more in the town centre reflecting the mining heritage for example.
