Graffiti Removal in Edinburgh

Graffiti is a common occurrence in most towns and cities across Scotland. Either in the form of words or pictures, it can appear on brick walls or any other surface.

There are cities across the world where legal graffiti areas are in place and Edinburgh is currently one city where the council is debating whether something similar is needed. An article that appeared in the Edinburgh News earlier this year cited the fact that the council are considering an official site/s that graffiti artists can use. However, in the meantime it is an ongoing issue for many property owners throughout the city as Graffiti is always in public view and generally added without permission. As a consequence, graffiti often needs to be removed.
