Have your say on which of these exciting mural designs is your preference. It is planned for the preferred designs to be painted in Dalry Community Park and Sauchiebank Gardens - two sections of the new Roseburn to Union Canal Link. We hope that you like the proposed designs. We think that they will add colour and vibrancy to the Link and further enhance the user experience.
Project Description
Several mural designs have been produced by local artists and it is planned that one of these designs will be painted on walls within the newly reinvigorated Dalry Community Park and one will be painted along the retaining wall up the ramp from Russell Road within the Sauchiebank Gardens section. Three designs have been produced for each area and the public are invited to select which design they prefer for each area. It is then hoped that the preferred artist will be commissioned by Edinburgh Collective and the designs painted during the Spring / Summer of 2026.
Location: The northernmost section of the site, newly named Sauchiebank Gardens. The mural is proposed for the retaining wall that bounds the ramp that leads up from Russell Road.
Proposed on behalf of: The artistic interventions will be delivered through a collaboration of City of Edinburgh Council and Edinburgh Collective. Funding for the project has been secured from City of Edinburgh Council, Sustrans and Balfour Beatty, who acted as contractor for the overall Roseburn to Union Canal Link construction phase.
Can’t seem to find the ‘support button’ but this design gets my vote! Great colours, great subject matter (pollinators!), great community feeling.
I love this one. The colours are vibrant and inspiring :)
This one's great! The colours would compliment the area really well, and I can see it appealing to a really wide demographic!
Yes. I've made a mural judgement. This one please.🙏
This is the one! Looks great, perfect for the area
Oh my goodness, please choose this one! The colours are so bright and vibrant, and I love the ladybird in particular. Cheers me up so much.
Definitely this one please!
This one please, it’s beautiful!
I don't see a 'support button', but I vote for this one. Beautiful and fresh, and great that it seems to celebrate nature and ecosystems.
Love it! The more you look at this, the more you see.
