Quick Overview

This booklet supports the newly launch Sports Heroes Mural in Prestonpans.   Mural painted by Tom Ewing and booklet written by Tom Ewing and Jan Holden.

The idea of a Prestonpan's Sports Mural was put forward by Jim Forster about 3 years ago.  Several years earlier Jim, a former sprinter, had written a booklet about the talented runner Tom Tait, and thought it would be a good idea to do a mural in his honour.  The Prestoungrange Arts Festival, the organisation behind the Prestonpans's Mural Trail, loved the idea and put it on their list of future projects.  Two years later the Prestonpans Community Council also put forward the idea of a Sport's Mural, celebrating the town's rich sporting history.
