For less than a week, Brazilian graffiti artists have been having their way with a Scottish castle. The Graffiti Project at Kelburn Castle has invited street artists Os Gemeos, Nina Pandolfo, and Nunca to paint an entire building 35 miles west of Glasgow.

I was really impressed by the project when I read about it. I'm a bit sad that it won't remain there forever but it's definitely a step in the right direction in showing those who would usually be against graffiti that it's a great art form.
