Location: Royal Mile, Edinburgh, 2019. #BigBucketTrail

The process



One of the most powerful forms of inspiration is from our world cultures.


We have a beautiful and rich diverse mix of people from different backgrounds and walks of life, sometimes all we need to do for inspiration is look around us.


Be inspired by others.

 





The reaction from the public
