Sandcastle in Castle Street |

Flights to Barcelona During the week beginning May 17, 2010, a sand sculpture was created in Castle Street to advertise the launch of Spanair's new direct route between Edinburgh and Barcelona. The sculpture gradually took shape during the week, with 100 free flight tickets to Barcelona hidden somewhere in the sand. This photo was taken on Friday May 21, as the sculpture neared completion. The sculpture had a short life. The first hundred people to arrive at the sculpture on Saturday May 22 to see its unveiling were invited to dig for one minute at 10am to find tickets. |

The Sculpture The sculpture was built by Kate Robinson. It used 15 tons of sand, and included landmarks from Barcelona and Edinburgh. This view looks down on the sandcastle from the NE. The camera is being held high on a monopod..
