Whenever I am in Edinburgh I always try to check out the mural at St Johns Scottish Episcopal Church on the West End of Princes Street.

The murals address contemporary issues relating to justice and peace and have appeared at St John’s for many years.

They are intended to provoke discussion and a response from passers-by on Princes Street.

The murals are painted by Artists for Justice and Peace and planned by a small group including the Rector and Associate Rector of St Johns.

An Iranian, “Ella”, who has lived in Scotland for seven years, helped to create the the latest mural, Women Life Freedom in support of the women protesting in Iran against government strictures.

No matter what your political stance is these murals, in my opinion more often than not hit the mark, previous subjects have included the war in Ukrane, Desmond Tutu, Cop 26, BLM, Covid, and World Aids Day.

Next timee you are in Edinburgh have we look.
