Mural Brings Memories to Dementia Care | Edinburgh News
Description
A new mural inside a dementia care center in East Lothian, Scotland, is sparking joy and memories—painted by artist Draya Madú and funded by the Postcode Local Trust. Featuring local landmarks like Preston Tower and Arthur’s Seat, it’s part of a larger renovation that also included new floors, equipment, and a minibus. Residents watched it come to life, sharing stories as each brushstroke revealed a familiar scene. The project, inspired by Prestonpans’ reputation as Scotland’s Mural Town, reconnects residents with their community—even when they can’t go out. The artist even received a sweet gift: a drawing of Preston Tower from a local artist. It’s more than art—it’s a conversation starter, a memory trigger, and a heartfelt bridge to the outside world.
