Gothenburg and John Muir

Foreshore, High Street
by Kate Hunter

Just before you head down to the beach, you come face to face with a Kate Hunter mural, which combines East Lothian’s long established trade links with Gothenburg in Sweden, and the ounding father of America's national parks, John Muir. A portrait is also included of Thomas Nelson I, grandfather of the Thomas Nelson who was largely responsible for establishing the Gothenburg public house – where the murals trail begins and ends. The mural was formally unveiled in 2003 by the Lord Mayor of Goteborg in Sweden.
