24 Doors of Advent (18)
'Mansfield Traquair Centre'
First time I think I've queued to get into a church but did not want to get caught out like yesterday. This former church is know as "Edinburgh's Sistine Chapel"
and contains a vast scheme of arts & crafts murals by the artist Phoebe Anna Traquair. This centre is only open one day a month check out the website if your staying in Edinburgh.
A wonderful centre that only shows what can be done by some dedicated people and not forget a Lottery grant. This only began in 1989 and at times people were cleaning the murals with cotton buds and methylated spirits.
A few extra blips.
