Visitors to the Great Wall of China will soon be allowed to scrawl “wish you were here” on certain chunks of the Unesco monument. Growing numbers of visitors are opting to deface the site with illegal graffiti, so authorities are responding by providing these visitors with specific graffiti zones. Graffiti is increasingly being seen as an art form, and here's where to find some of the most spectacular examples.

Urban graffiti is Street Art - a real art movement that was created to regenerate an urban environment. The best of it is great to see in towns, cities, old walls, boring buildings. Scottish castles?. Sorry - like the scabbies on the stunning TGV viaduct in Provence - just silly. Destructive of another architectural creations  and meaningless in the situation. It shows the difference between real street artists and lads with B and Q spray cans.

I'd move out if I lived in some of these buildings, some themes are too cynical.

Art, like poetry and music is an individual view...you can please some of the people some of the time, but not all the people...all of the time, I love diverse political stances on art, but also love the old classics.

but because it is viewed as art...no need to get angry eh?

Graffiti is not an art form...it's an abominable eye sore.

Every castle in Scotland should be covered in quality graffiti.
