Niddrie’s Mural Reborn Through Community Effort

After eighteen months of volunteer work, Niddrie’s forgotten mural has been reborn — a vibrant community masterpiece born from local passion, artist Calum Carr’s six-day brushwork, and funding from Hillcrest Housing. Spearheaded by events organizer Calum Baird and guided by resident input, the project honored nostalgia and creativity, culminating in a Thursday evening unveiling where even Bobby McEwan, Niddrie’s 80-year resident, shared poetry painted on the wall — and a care home resident cut the ribbon. This is more than art — it’s proof that when neighbors, artists, and organizations unite, even the most neglected walls can become landmarks of pride.
