A stunning new mural has been unveiled on the side of a popular local pub.
The huge display was unveiled in Stockbridge this week after the art was created on the side of Hamilton's Bar and Kitchen.
Created by renowned graffiti artist Conzo, the piece saw him return to the capital for the first time since 2019 to hand-paint the work just off of Hamilton Place.

A whopping 30ft by 10ft mural, the piece was bespokely created in the shape of a stamp, and is meant to take inspiration from the bar's surroundings.
At its heart is the area’s infamous heron who can often be seen posing on the river bank for tourists and locals.
Residents and visitors to the area, will be able to spot a few other familiar sites including St. Bernard’s Well, Stockbridge Clock Tower as well as the old entrance to the area’s historic market which can be found just feet away from the mural.
This is the latest installation by Conzo who has transformed empty walls and buildings across Scotland with his vibrant, eye-catching creations.
Commenting Conzo, said: “I haven’t been in Edinburgh since 2019, so what better way to come back than with a new mural. It’s been great working with Colin at Hamilton’s to celebrate Stockbridge’s unique sites, especially the infamous heron.
“I’ve created a few bespoke pieces with Heverlee and it’s always so much fun with the freedom to really get creative. I love their focus on nocturnal animals and local animal legends and alongside the other murals it’s building into a great series. There’s nothing better than transforming an empty space and I hope the people of Stockbridge enjoy this special nod to their home.”

Hazel Alexander, senior brand manager for Heverlee, added: “Belgium’s street art beautifully brings to life the different cities and suburbs and its fantastic being able to recreate this in Stockbridge. Conzo has perfectly captured the area though his design and we hope Hamilton’s customers and the locals enjoy toasting a pint to the new mural.”
Commenting, Colin Church, co-owner of Hamilton’s, added: “As a local business we wanted to celebrate the area and its vibrant heritage and a mural seemed like the ideal way. Conzo has brought to life our vision perfectly and it’s been brilliant watching him transform the lane. We’re looking forward to celebrating the story of Stockbridge with our locals.”
