Mosaic Wall, Castle Green Play Area
Broughty Ferry, Dundee

In partnership with Broughty Ferry Environmental Project


The 'holey wall', as it is fondly known, takes pride of place in Broughty Ferry's newly renovated children's play area. The stainless steel circles and poles were designed by Little Ironies to compliment the existing mosaic work. The steelwork is decorated with waves and fishes to continue the seaside theme that spans both sides of the mosaic wall

The Japanese verse "The surface of the water mirrors many things" winds its way across the stainless steel circles, with the author's name credited in Japanese haiku within one of the stainless steel circles

Fabricated from stainless steel and designed with safety in mind - the gaps between metalwork were sized between 15-100mm and safety bolt covers have been used throughout
