Granton tunnel gets a makeover

A group of young people from Drylaw have been taking part in an Art project over the past two months, transforming a tunnel on the cycle path in Granton from a dull dark place to a nice bright one, with lots of amazing images that they created along with Leith based artist Chris Young.

The project was organised by the Edinburgh & Lothians Greenspace Trust project manager, Charlie Cummings, who said:- “We’re delighted with the transformation of the tunnel, thanks to the artist, Chris Young, and the Fet Lor Youth Group. We hope that everyone using the tunnel will enjoy the artwork depicting scenes from the North Edinburgh cycleways and be inspired to explore the Innertubemap routes.”

Chris Young has been working with the group for the past four months and is delighted with the project. He said:- “This has been a great project. It was really interesting researching the history of the area so that some of the images could reflect the historical aspect. The young people have enjoyed taking part in the project and I would like to work with them in the future on more community art projects.”
