Our Work | August 28, 2025
Round Our Place Ravenscraig is created with the local community in North Lanarkshire to reflect on Ravenscraig’s past, present and dreams for the future.
This post-industrial land is at a pivotal moment for its surrounding community with plans for regeneration.

Expect stories that bring Ravenscraig’s unique landscape to life, reflecting on biodiversity, the land’s history and our shared future.
A new SOUNDWALK
Which serves as the lasting legacy of the walking performance, allowing people to experience the stories and creative work on site at Ravenscraig long-term.
An Exhibition
Held locally later in 2026 to bring together all the different art forms created during the project and share them with a wider audience.
The project so far
Launched in September 2024, the pilot project brought together residents, artists, young people, and former steelworkers through Walking Workshops, creative storytelling, and collaborative artworks.
Highlights included a youth-led reimagining of Ravenscraig, large-scale stencil art, and the creation of the sound walk combining music, interviews, and local stories — launched in April 2025 with a community dance performance.
Following the success of the pilot, we ran two new Walking Workshops in September 2025 as part of the Lanarkshire Climate Action Festival. These walks explored both familiar and lesser-known parts of Ravenscraig, guided by members of the local community. We reflected on biodiversity, the history of the land, regeneration, and our shared identity and connection to this evolving landscape. Local conservationists Hamshya Rajkumar and Graham Butt (Campfire History) joined us to talk about Ravenscraig’s unique plants and spark conversations with the walkers.
Visit Ravenscraig and listen to our mini- geo located sound walk on the site.
Round Our Place Ravenscraig is funded by Creative Scotland, The William Syson Foundation and developed in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council and Lanarkshire Climate Action Hub.
This project is led by Tricky Hat Associate Artist, Kim Beveridge, who was born, raised, lives and works in North Lanarkshire.
