In relation to the identified priorities in the Guidance & Essential criteria what will your idea achieve and who will benefit from your project?

The Alloway Railway Tunnel ART is an arts and heritage community project creating a stunning mural within a disused railway tunnel near the Brig O’Doon, Alloway, Ayrshire. At 300m it’s one of the largest murals in Scotland. The project of a guided video tour will benefit local residents, visitors and international tourists who want to find out more information and stories about the mural and Ayrshire history from artist Chris Rutterford as they walk around viewing the mural.

Please describe what you plan to do and what the money will be used for? (i.e., purchase equipment/resources)

We are applying to Coastal Communities fund for funding to make an audio/visual guided tour by artist Chris Rutterford. The funding will pay for a videographer to film and edit the video. We will also pay for a graphic designer to create a large poster with the QR code of this film and people can pay online and get an instant download of the tour to help them hear the amazing stories behind the mural while they are visiting the mural.

Location: The mural is in Alloway Railway Tunnel, Alloway, South Ayrshire.
