Story of Tam o’Shanter retold in mural
A new artwork tells the story of one of Robert Burns's most famous works.
The 56ft-long Tam o'Shanter mural retells the story of a man who stays too long at a public house and witnesses a disturbing vision of witches and warlocks at a haunted kirk while he is riding home on his horse Meg.
It has gone on display at the museum in Alloway, Ayrshire.
The mural was created by Edinburgh-based artist Chris Rutterford and is in the style of a graphic novel.
