IOTW "Our Legacy" mural

The mural sprawls across a building in Invergordon like someone's decided to turn the whole wall into a conversation about identity. It's the work of IOTW - In Our Time We - and it's bold enough that you can't really miss it when you're wandering round the town. The piece is called "Our Legacy" and it's all about community, heritage, and what it means to belong to a place.

What you actually see depends on the light, to be honest. The colours shift and the layering draws you in properly once you stop and look. It's not the sort of thing you'll drive past and immediately understand - this rewards you standing still for five minutes and letting it sink in. The artist hasn't shied away from making statements about the Highlands and the people who live here.

Worth the detour? If you're already in Invergordon, absolutely. You'd be daft not to cross the street and have a look. Whether it'll blow your mind depends entirely on how much you're into street art and social commentary. History buffs might find it more meaningful than casual tourists, but there's something genuinely affecting about art that speaks to a specific place and community.

It's free - because it's a mural on a public wall - and you can see it anytime. Newmore Highland Pods is just a couple of miles away if you're basing yourself locally. Allow ten minutes unless you're the type who wants to photograph it from seven angles.
