You step off the main street into a narrow lane and the city changes its voice: brick and sandstone walls become canvases, color and character spreading across alleys. A local guide points out a Rogue One piece, then turns you toward a soaring portrait of Billy Connolly; each mural has a backstory, an argument, a laugh.
