Scotland’s Graffiti Castle

1 Can you imagine a castle covered in graffiti? In Scotland, such a castle exists. The castle is owned by Lord Glasgow, who wasn’t impressed when he first heard about the plans. It was his daughter and son’s idea, and when they told him about it, he thought they had gone mad! Eventually his children did their best to convince Lord Glasgow to allow the project to happen. They promised that only the world’s best graffiti artists would be hired for the project.

2 Arrangements were made for the artists, a wellknown Brazilian group named Nina, Nunca and identical twins Os Gemeos, to spend a month at Kelburn Castle. Their goal was to combine the culture of Brazil with the architecture of Scotland through the Graffiti Project. It was a fantastic opportunity for the artists to make their mark!

3 After the design was developed by the Brazilians, the walls of the castle were painted white. A surprising number of cans of spray paint – 1500 in total – were used to paint colourful imagery on the castle. The project was finished in about four weeks, and visitors today can see a dazzling display of faces, animals, objects and designs that are painted on even the turrets and chimneys of the castle. The whole event was filmed and can be viewed on the castle’s website.

4 The castle is located just 35 miles from Glasgow on Scotland’s west coast. It’s open to visitors from 10 am to 6 pm. If you want to have a look, though, you had better hurry, as the graffiti won’t be kept on the walls for long. The castle walls are damaged and will be repaired at some point in the future. But the Graffiti Project has been a great success. In fact, after seeing the terrific work that the Brazilians had done, Lord Glasgow changed his mind and decided that he loved the idea after all!
