The Colinton Tunnel - preserving history and heritage
We're back (and COVID-safe while working)!
Four lines of poetry and other magical additions all along the tunnel.
100+ metres of brilliantly illustrated poetry already completed and RLS's poem has only two lines to go!
An enchanting mural in a Victorian railway tunnel, created to preserve local history and make people smile - as Craig Hill's video shows!

We are transforming a dark and scary tunnel into a safe and welcoming home for Scotland's largest historical mural, celebrating the industrial, social, artistic and literary history of our community. See FAQ page for directions to the tunnel.
