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.
