I have to admit though, I love beautiful old castles and it almost makes me cringe to see it's beauty marked like this. If it really is temporary, then it's a fun way to show creativity on a structure that's coming down anyways.

It's only paint, paint is never permanent, especially in the Scottish weather. Yep I saw the same program, shame he has to sell up but then again everyone in the UK is in the same boat right now.

The last line in the presentation was the young son of the Earl announcing the defacement, ...umm... graffiti project, upon the property. Will the "art" be removed while the property is refurbished? If so, I see no harm. It's sort of like a recalcitrant child scribbling with chalk upon the sidewalk. I wish the young man much luck in his patrimony. Maybe a business class or two may help. Leave the "art" projects to others. Perhaps I am just a barbaric colonial, but we scrub and repaint graffiti in our public places. If you own the canvas, however, knock yourself out......

Another one! I think the contrast of the historic with the modern and the scale of the artwork is amazing. I really do wish I could get over to Scotland to see it.

I find the reactions to the graffiti project fascinating! Some people love it while others are horrified. Personally i adore it! I'm a 3rd year illustrator from dundee college of art and design, and i'm always being told 'what is art' and i find this project a real breath of fresh air. I'm doing my dissertartion on art projects such as these and i was wondering if there was any way you could put me in touch with the artists and/or the owners of the castle? thanks for any help you can give me.
