Prestonpans Murals, East Lothian

Written by Karen Bryan

It’s amazing how you can drive through a place and never realise what’s there. In thte coastal village of Prestonpans, East Lothian, a few miles east of Edinburgh, I’d previusly noticed a car park with a sign “Prestonpans Murals” in the Main Street and one mural at the side of a convenience store. Yesterday I decided to stop and investigate further. I walked down to the beach and there were several murals on the wall there. My favourite was the one of the the miners.

I also really liked the cow at the side of the covenience store, which was formerly a dairy.

The murals honour the memory of the history of the town and its rich industrial heritage . You can also visit the nearby Prestoungrange Industrial Museum.

Have you walked around the Prestonpans Murals Trail, which mural was your favourite?
