We have created a well-lit, safe, striking heritage mural in a previously scary former railway tunnel, to make people smile. colintontunnel.org.uk

Another day and even more difference! Max and team making great progress on Cuddies Lane, while Mike was second-coating on Spylaw Street. (Max's van is shown in case you need a good painter!). Page 32 of the new C&B News has more info on our plans.

The humanitarian nightmare in Gaza continues. This week has seen horrifying strikes that hit civilians at a seafront cafe, the blocking of aid and unacceptable evacuation orders in northern Gaza. We need a ceasefire now, unrestrained aid into Gaza & the release of all hostages

Nearly there! Today's team included Iain Gotts, so we made good progress. One more day will see the masonry painting done, then Eddie will join Chris in the studio to work on the mural. Opening ceremony 25th July at 11.00am - all welcome!

The stunning new mural by Chris Rutterford on Cuddies Lane is being unveiled at 11.00 this Friday (25th). If you want to get one of the 50 limited edition commemorative tote bags, they will be in the Spylaw after the ceremony.

Tunnel dog Bella returned to Colinton, with big pal Rona and their minder, Lubi. They came to celebrate the opening of the Colinton Gateway mural on Cuddies Lane, celebrating village life in the early 20th century. Another stunning job by Chris Rutterford.

The Cuddies Lane mural is complete... and it has a wee "Easter Egg" It took a village to bring this project to life, and while many people played a big part, I want to give a special mention to someone who played a smaller but meaningful role - my friend, the late Cllr Val

Take a wee listen and look at this new composition by Rufus Beckett, which uses the tunnel mural as a visual backdrop m.youtube.com/watch?v=0vO_ax…

Today's Edinburgh Evening News features a double-page spread, reminding us of the delights of the new Cuddies Lane mural and telling some of the stories behind it. Another great piece of work by @chris_rutterford , assisted by his somewhat older "lad".

A massive effort & thank you to our brilliant volunteers, who came out today to clean the Colinton Tunnel in preparation for the artists to touch-up and refresh the mural. They made short work of a tough job, working so fast that it was hard to get their photos in focus! Legends!

Good to see our Shropshire twin as a project in progress! We first talked with Jane when it was a concept, and it now looks as though it will become a reality. Well done!
