Though some areas of our towns and cities are blighted by
unsightly graffiti when artists with talent are given scope to create outdoor
art the results, on a grand scale, can be spectacular.
In Glasgow, some of these art works are huge, covering
whole gable ends of tenement buildings. A few of the images commemorate people
who have made their mark in various diverse fields, including astronomy, music,
and in the case of Billy Connolly, comedy and film.
Walking the City Centre Mural Trail may take you to parts
of the city you’ve never explored before. Pick up a booklet containing a map
from one of the city museums and head east along George Street to find Mural
No1.
Some of the art installations are temporary. More
