New Mural

I worked this morning and then met a friend at 'Leith Croft' for a coffee.  we cycled home via Portobello Prom, Duddingston, The Innocent Railway and the canal.
As we went from Gilmore Place to the canal we were pleased to see this newish mural.  Here are the details for it-
'This mural at Lower Gilmore Place, exhibits a powerful portrait of Frederick Douglass, the former slave who became one of the most prestigious antislavery agents of his time. The building is the location in which Fredrick Douglass was resident while in Edinburgh in 1846, eight years after escaping the brutal regime of his owner on a plantation in Maryland.'
