For the last month, Edinburgh Zoo’s Giraffe About Town project has seen city residents and tourists flock to see the trendy herd of giraffes on show at some of the capital’s most famous landmarks.

Let us know what you think and join the conversation at the bottom of this article.

The partnership between Wild in Art and the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) has brought colour to some of the city’s most iconic locations to celebrate Edinburgh’s heritage and cultural diversity.

The unique art trail will run until August 29 before culminating in a farewell weekend in September, where the delightful sculptures will be auctioned off to raise funds for wildlife conservation.

For the next month we will introduce you these impressive creatures, their story and where you can spot them.

Today we feature Straight on ‘til Morning, which can be found outside the National Museum of Scotland on Chambers Street.

This standout sculpture is inspired by J.M Barrie’s classic children’s story, Peter Pan.

Taking its name from Peter Pan’s directions to find Neverland - “Second star on the right and Straight on ‘til Morning” – the dazzling sculpture is a celebration of the legendary tale written by one of Scotland’s most famous authors.
