Interactive Glasgow mural to commemorate first female commercial pilot

Up to five “interactive murals” are set to be created in Glasgow’s “forgotten ward” in a bid to demonstrate its rich and diverse history.

Cardonald councillors Alex Wilson, Elaine McSporran, Jim Kavanagh and Matt Kerr are collectively working on the project which they hope can officially begin in February.

They have teamed up with Glasgow graffiti artist, Dan McDermott of Spraywellmurals and SWAMP (South West Arts and Music Project) to create their first mural on Paisley Road West with a QR code which will feature Winnie Drinkwater from Cardonald, the first ever woman to fly a commercial plane.
