Painting The Town
Finally, something exciting is happening to the old Woolworths store in Inverness. Regular diary readers may recall my countdown-to-closure posts at the turn of the year. Since early January the store has remained empty with various rumours about its redevelopment so far coming to nothing.
Today, however, I encountered a artist merrily slapping paint on the wooden hoarding that now covers up the side entrance.
"It's part of the art festival," she told me, as I hovered over her shoulder and finally asked her to explain herself, "there's more information about it in the Victorian Market."
I followed her pointing fginger and wandered through the market - but found nothing. I began to wonder if this had been a bi of mis-direction designed to ward off wandering critics.
Not that I really neded to know more. We'd covered the project in our Highland Cafe programme on Wednesday. Artists have been drafted in from all over Scotland to 'Re-Imagine' the city centre. Apparently these outsiders offer a different way of looking at the city.
There's artwork, sculpture, music and various "happenings".
But still no sign of a pic 'n' mix.
